Estratégia de Desenvolvimento do Norte para Período de Programação 2021-27 das Políticas da União Europeia

The Northern Development Strategy for the period 2021-27, approved by the Regional Council, aims to create a robust framework for sustainable growth in the Northern region of Portugal.

Culture and heritage play a pivotal role in the strategy, contributing to sustainable territorial organisation and urban quality. The strategy highlights the importance of preserving and enhancing both tangible and intangible cultural heritage, which includes classified cultural sites and local traditions. By investing in cultural infrastructure and public spaces, the strategy aims to foster a vibrant cultural landscape that supports community engagement and tourism.

Moreover, the strategy recognizes the potential of cultural resources, such as gastronomy and local craftsmanship, to drive economic growth and attract visitors. It advocates for the integration of cultural initiatives with digital technologies to enhance accessibility and participation. By leveraging cultural assets, the strategy seeks to create a cohesive identity for the region, promoting a sense of belonging and pride among residents. Ultimately, the Northern Development Strategy envisions a future where culture and heritage are not only preserved but also serve as catalysts for sustainable development and social cohesion.

This Strategy is part of a broader constellation of policies developed for regions, part of the programme Portugal 2030. The plan has not been specifically designed with the aim to devolve policies for culture and give more responsibility to the regions, however, it makes relevant references and thus has been included in this library collection for reasons of completeness.
