                                                            Over 70% of Europeans live in urban areas, and 55% of public investment is made by regional or local governments. The European Investment Bank works on a range of Urban Agenda-related initiatives to share knowledge with local and regional decision-makers in order to improve access to funds and help them use existing funds more effectively.

                                                            The EIB has provided EUR 95 billion in urban lending over the last five years and is extending that financing to projects with a higher risk under the European Fund for Strategic Investments, part of the Investment Plan for Europe.
