STAGES OF TERRITORIAL COHESION AT EUROPEAN LEVEL

Summary/Abstract: Territorial cohesion, together with the economic and social cohesion, occupies an increasingly important stance among the policies of the European Union. A complex concept, constantly evolving, constantly adapted to the needs and realities of the community space, but also to the global ones, territorial cohesion is considered a synonym for balanced development. Even though a concrete definition of territorial cohesion cannot be drawn, we can delimit some generally accepted terms - balanced territorial development, reduction of disparities and the capitalization of territorial potential. In other words, territorial cohesion is the expression of the balanced, harmonious and coherent development of the territory in terms of economic, social, environmental quality, endowment and better living conditions for all citizens, regardless of the area or place where they are located.
