This study, carried out for the TRAN Committee of the European Parliament, deals with the interaction between integrated urban transport plans (sustainable urban mobility/transport plans, SUMP) and the cohesion policy of the European Union. After considering the concept of SUMP and the role of transport/urban transport in cohesion policy, eight case studies analyse the link between integrated urban transport planning and funding for transport policies/projects under cohesion policy. The study concludes with policy recommendations on various issues, including the 2011 proposals for cohesion policy reform.
