Sustainable and integrated territorial development strategy

With technical support from the EU PRO Plus local development programme, Leskovac developed its first Sustainable Urban Development (SUD) strategy in 2022-2023, in line with EU principles. This innovative strategy integrates priority investments, thematic goals and different sources of funding, targeting economic, ecological, climatic, social and demographic challenges. It was inspired by best practices published by the Joint Research Centre and supported by local and international experts. The strategy contains chapters on the approach; description of the territory and context; SWOT analysis and needs; vision, thematic and specific goals and measures; priority areas of intervention and strategic projects; financial resources; monitoring and evaluation; and implementation.
