Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the impact of public policies co-financed by the European Structural and Investment Funds in the programming period 2014 – 2020 on the development of municipalities, cities and regions. Based on the experience of the programming period 2007 – 2013, the territorial dimension was also included into the Partnership Agreement between the European Union and the Czech Republic in the current period. The territorial dimension is understood as an opportunity to support the competitiveness of specific types of territories and also as a tool for balancing territorial disparities. The territorial dimension links the sectoral and regional focus of support tools and activities. The fulfilment of the territorial dimension in the programming period 2014 - 2020 takes place through integrated projects and integrated tools. Integrated tools used in this programming period are integrated territorial investments, integrated territorial development plans and community-led local development. Despite the delays in the start of the programming period, all integrated instruments are used in the second half of the programming period and their impact can be analyzed. The article specifies the range and the benefits of integrated tool implementation and recommendations for the preparation of the next period based on the current implementation process.
