Description
The Brussels-Capital ERDF OP supports initiatives that contribute to improving the urban metabolism in line with the sustainable urban development strategy pursued by the European Union. In essence, the aim is to support a limitation of incoming flow demand, to improve metabolization and to minimise waste, whilst enhancing the environmental and economic resources of Brussels, as well as its human resources.
Objectives
The Programme puts in place a concentration of resources,
- on a thematic level: projects from the first four priority axes have to contribute to strengthening specific economic sectors or offer a response to certain challenges identified as being priorities for the Region;
