The primary objective of the project is to deliver and present
a study to the Members of the European Parliament’s Committee on Regional Development,
focusing on the role of cohesion policy in promoting cultural and historical heritage through local authorities. The study will analyse Cohesion Policy’s contribution to cultural heritage and outline the difficulties of local authorities in funding heritage conservation and promotion projects. The study will also provide recommendations for the post-2027 Cohesion Policy framework, with a particular focus on the role and competences of the European Parliament.
Target respondents: local authority officials responsible for cultural heritage, EU funds, urban regeneration, tourism, planning, housing, energy efficiency, or regional/local development.
Reference period: Please answer mainly for the 2021–2027 Cohesion Policy programming period. Where relevant, you may also refer to 2014–2020 projects or completed projects that still affect your territory.
Confidentiality: Responses will be analysed for research purposes of the European Parliament. Individual answers will not be attributed to a named person unless explicit permission is given.
Definition used in this survey: “Cultural and historical heritage” includes, for example, historic centres, listed or protected buildings, churches and cathedrals, museums and interpretation centres, cultural routes, archaeological sites, industrial heritage, rural and vernacular heritage, cultural landscapes, archives, libraries, and intangible heritage.
