Greater Dunkirk's Territorial Project is a voluntary initiative by Dunkerque's elected representatives to establish a political roadmap for the term of office (2020-2026).
Based on forward planning and public consultation on the major issues facing the region in the future, it is structured around 3 major challenges:
-Reinforcing the region's renewed attractiveness through an active policy to promote economic renewal and diversification in order to attract new businesses and new jobs.
-Demonstrating boldness and innovation in favour of energy and social transition
-Working together at all levels of the region
These 3 challenges are then broken down into strategic objectives, which are the subject of an annual activity report and a sustainable development report; the latter is a legal obligation.
The management, monitoring and evaluation of the regional project are currently the subject of partial approaches that are more closely linked to mechanisms that are often obsoletey
Given the accelerating pace of change in the region, and the growing complexity of interdependent, multi-level public policies, we need to be innovative and draw inspiration from best practice

The Somogy County Integrated Territorial Program (ITP) for 2021-2027, one instrument supported by the Operationnal Programme, aims to tackle critical challenges by boosting local resources and enhancing employment for economic growth. Sustainable development is a priority, integrating ecological, social, and economic factors while reducing regional disparities. Key focuses include employment improvement, sustainable resource utilization, and reducing inequalities. Geographical areas like the Balaton Resort Area and rural regions are targeted for development. Priority measures encompass sustainable urban development, infrastructure enhancements, and improved social services. Implementation is overseen by the Somogy County Government, funded under the Operational Programme for Regional and Settlement Development (TOP Plusz), aligning with EU cohesion policy goals. The ITP promotes multi-actor governance involving local governments, civil society, businesses, and community groups. Coordination occurs at local, regional, and national levels to ensure a comprehensive and inclusive approach to regional development, aligning with broader objectives.

The policy instrument addressed is the Single Policy Document (SPD), the fundamental strategic and operational planning tool for all Italian local authorities, mandated by law (TUEL art.170 and DL 18/2020). The SPD guides all other accounting and management documents, providing the framework for local policies, indicators and strategic projects.
The SPD, composed of Strategic and Operational sections, aligns closely with the Agenda 2030 Goals, integrating global sustainability objectives into local planning. Different levels of governance are involved in its realization and update: each municipal department defines its actions and involves interested citizens through participation forms like the “Citizens Consulte”, elected bodies in each neighbourhood. The Planning and control department consolidates these inputs, aligns them with the Administration’s priorities and prepares the final document. The SPD is then submitted to the political level for approval or revision.
The SPD is intricately to the Regional Strategy “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”, covering all 17 UN Goals. This strategic and political connection translates into operational actions and joint projects aimed at advancing sustainability goals at the local level.
In 2019, Emilia-Romagna outpaced the national average across majority of the Goals, setting it apart from the rest of Italy in its pursuit of sustainable development.

The goal of the PAT is to provide a strategic, spatial planning framework for the functional urban area represented by the Oradea Metropolitan Area, until 2030. The process of elaborating the Plan for Territorial Arrangement is defined by the national legislation in Romania, being supported by an intensive public consultation with a large variety of stakeholders.
The policy instrument is based on 4 strategic priorities:
1.Improving the mobility
2.Development of the administrative capacity
3.Development, promotion and preservation of the natural and cultural heritage
4.Supporting the economic development
The general objective of the PAT is the sustainable development of Oradea Metropolitan Area, as a competitive, attractive and resilient territory, with good accessibility and high quality of life, by valorizing the local identity and promoting innovation, in order to reduce disparities and to support the socioeconomic cohesion.
The overall objective is based on 8 strategic objectives (with a larger number of subsequent specific objectives) which are tackling
-the development of transport infrastructure,
-the public services and administrative capacity in general,
-the green areas and natural landscapes,
-the economic competitiveness,
-the development of educational infrastructure,
-the modernization of the healthcare and social care infrastructure,
-the quality of housing and related services, and
-the valorization of natural and cultural heritage through tourism.

The multi-year strategic plan of the Province of Antwerp outlines both strategic and operational objectives, crafted at the onset of each six-year legislature based on a political management agreement. This inclusive process involves stakeholders from various sectors, fostering a multi-actor governance model in line with the SDGs.

A thorough SWOT analysis guides objectives selection, integrating both internal expertise and external stakeholder insights. The plan remains flexible to accommodate, emerging needs and changes through ongoing adjustments.

Regular reporting to the Provincial Council on plan progress is supported by measurable indicators and descriptive reports. As the current plan concludes by the end of 2025, a new one will be adopted after the October 13th, 2024 elections, governing the period from January 1st, 2026 to December 31st, 2031.

As an intermediary authority between Flemish, Federal Belgian governments and local municipalities, the province of Antwerp closely collaborates to achieve SDGs. Efforts range from internal initiatives like sustainable mobility and energy efficiency to assisting local authorities in SDG implementation through individual and collaborative initiatives. Spearheading the 1st Voluntary Subnational Review highlights its commitment to collaborative SDG efforts and shared responsibility.

The Lisbon Regional Programme 2021-2027 aims to enhance competitiveness, sustainability, and social cohesion with EU support. It promotes research, innovation, decarbonisation, climate resilience, and modernization of healthcare and education. Additionally, it supports sustainable urban development, aligning with all SDGs.

The governance model of Portugal 2030 includes bodies specializing in functions such as political and technical coordination, management, monitoring, certification, payment, auditing, and monitoring regional dynamics. Cross-cutting areas include monitoring and evaluation, communication, transparency, information systems, and management and control systems. The Interministerial Coordination Commission (CIC Portugal 2030) ensures transversal consistency with national and European strategic guidelines, complementarity with other European funds, and coordination with public policies financed with national resources. Technical coordination is carried out by the Agency, I.P.

The main objective of the policy is to provide a legal framework for the implementation of integrated neighbourhood management, clarifying cooperation principles and setting priorities. The policy addresses governance issues through multi-actor and multi-level governance.
Multi-actor governance involves a project team made up of representatives from local authorities and active residents within the neighbourhood. This team identifies needs, consults residents, develops solutions, and implements them with support from the municipality and partners like businesses, NGOs, and international organisations.
Multi-level governance ensures coordination between district authorities and the City Council. The policy guides the City Council’s cooperation with various governmental and municipal institutions. However, the concept needs to be adapted to the needs of the district, and be flexible and be easily tailored toward new challenges in a specific area.
The policy aims to create a transparent, flexible toolkit for participatory and sustainable development at the neighbourhood level, addressing the needs of vulnerable social groups. Our primary goal is to implement key SDGs principles. Dividing the urban territory into neighbourhoods will facilitate clearer progress monitoring.
The second priority is to address the needs of those affected by military threats. Additionally, it must consider potential risks and provide solutions.
