The UN Statistical Commission has adopted a new definition of urban areas, developed by @DijkstraLewis in collaboration with a raft of IOs.

Interpersonal #inequality in #Europe is highest in some of its poorest #regions.
But it is also very high in some of the biggest and most dynamic cities, such as #London and #Paris and, to a lesser extent, #Madrid, #Budapest or #Warsaw

#Europe cannot overlook its #talent and potential, wherever it happens.
#Cohesion Policy should be about identifying and investing in untapped potential, particularly in less developed and vulnerable regions.

Investing in vulnerable #regions will help the #EU unlock its full economic potential; a potential that has often been ignored, undermining its position in the world.
Stay tuned for the report of the High-Level Group on the Future of #Cohesion in February
