Summary/Abstract: The urban dimension has become increasingly important for the European Union`s cohesion policy. In this particular context, in order to reduce the obstacles cities, confront themselves with, local public authorities have started implementing projects financed from structural and cohesion funds. This paper is aimed at analysing the contribution EU funds have in the urban development process by presenting some successful projects of cities that invested in sustainable urban development. The choice of projects was based on two key aspects: (1) high level of complexity, efficient planning and execution; and (2) effects of the implemented projects, that are tangible and measurable, for the urban space rehabilitation process.
