“Territorial cohesion”, in addition to economic and social cohesion, is the new goal of the European Union (EU), which in recent years has become an important orientation and guiding principle for spatial development and territorial integration in the EU. European integration and cohesion, as it is seen today, is thus much more than a mere matter of standardisation and harmonisation of formerly national provisions and regulations for the economy and society. European integration is rather increasingly seen as the very concrete integration of the European territory, as a process of European cities and regions growing together and deepening their relationships based on a multi-level governance approach.
