Result 1

In the FUNDA project, an Integrated planning and management methodology will be developed focusing on the main governance challenges for infunction urban areas and with the help of the monitoring system developed in SO1, as well as after the preliminary spatial planning background survey, it will be tested in different areas in the individual pilot topic areas. In Activity 2.5 the Integrated participative planning methodology for functional urban areas with a focus on bottom-up methods and sustainability document summarises pilot results and offers a solution for participative planning in FUAs, also for further planning processes in the Danube Region.

FUNDA Baseline Study

The Functional Urban Areas Baseline Study provides a structured overview of existing national-level information on Functional Urban Areas (FUAs) across 11 partner countries, examining legal requirements, planning methods, and existing strategies. It synthesizes desk research, interviews, and questionnaires to identify the current status, development processes, and capacities of FUAs, facilitating a consolidated understanding to support integrated governance and planning across the Danube Region
