SECTION 4: INTEGRATED APPROACH TO TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENT (Reference: Article 8(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013) Description of the integrated approach to territorial development, taking into account the content and objectives of the cooperation programme, including in relation to regions and referred to in Article 174(3) TFEU, having regard to the Partnership Agreements of the participating Member States, and showing how it contributes to the accomplishment of the programme objectives and expected results The Danube Transnational Programme (DTP) will not use specific instruments for integrated territorial development offered by the EU regulations such as Community Led Local Development (CLLD) and Integrated Territorial Investment (ITI). However, the DTP supports an integrated territorial approach which is mainly understood as a comprehensive and coordinated approach to planning and governance and territorial coordination of policies in specific territories. The DTP recognizes that the territorial dimension and the coordination of EU and national sectoral policies are important principles in fostering territorial cohesion. Most policies at each territorial level can be made significantly more efficient and can achieve synergies with other policies if they take the territorial dimension and territorial impacts into account. Therefore the DTP supports territorial approaches such as: territorial integration in cross-border and transnational functional regions; improving territorial connectivity for individuals, communities and enterprises; managing and connecting ecological, landscape and cultural values of regions along key green infrastructures; improve transnational water management and flood risk prevention in functional sub-basin areas in line with the overall Danube River Basin Management Plan. led local development (where appropriate) Approach to the use of community-led local development instruments and principles for identifying the areas where they will be implemented (Reference: point (a) of Article 8(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013) Not applicable actions for sustainable urban development (where appropriate) Principles for identifying the urban areas where integrated actions for sustainable urban development are to be implemented and the indicative allocation of the ERDF support for these actions (Reference: point (b) of Article 8(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013)
