4.1.1. Clustering could help in the formation of a coherent research community relating to urban governance and decision making.
4.2.2 Only networks and concerted actions were open in the first call; additional clustering was not seen as appropriate.
4.3.1 There would be merits in linking the two networks which were seen as complementary.
4.4.1 There would be merits in clustering proposals around “sustainable transport through integration with land use planning”.
At this stage, clustering should be seen as exploratory and should only proceed when mutual interest is established. Coordination rather than clustering is the most appropriate means of linking with other Key Actions.

Present the objectives and the potential results in the context of the work programme. Explain why the proposed approach is the best way of meeting the objectives. Describe the methodology showing how the results would be obtained. Justify claims for socio-economic impacts.
All levels (researchers, end users, public authorities etc.) of stakeholders should be involved in the research.
The state of the art must be described (a description is of much more value than a list of references!).
The approach to be followed must be sufficient to convince the evaluators of its credibility
Ask somebody not involved to critically evaluate the draft proposal.

Sustainable Urban Development in the European Union: A Framework for Action [COM(98)605 final]
• affordable access to basic services, especially housing, education and training, health, energy, transport and communications, effective policing and justice.

RELEVANT EUROPEAN POLICIES (10)Energy for the Future; Renewable Sources of Energy [COM (97)599 final]"In retrofitting as well as for new buildings, the total energy consumption in this sector could be reduced by 50% in the European Union by 2010 through integrating measures of rational use of energy (for the building envelope as well as for heating, lighting, ventilation and cooling) with the use of renewable energy technologies”.
The Competitiveness of the Construction Industry [COM (97) 539 final]"To improve the quality in construction (...)quality will be a key element of sustainability, and in the long term the economic benefits will substantially outweigh the costs""progressive reorientation towards the goals of sustainable construction and renovation, and towards the satisfaction of basic and social needs will also contribute to increased competitiveness, while benefiting society as a whole."
Ambient air quality assessment and management(Council Directive - 96/62/EC)
To define and establish objectives for ambient air quality To avoid, prevent or reduce harmful effects on human health and the environment
as a whole Through “Levels” on concentration and/or deposition of pollutants (gases and particles) “Limit values” fixed on the basis of scientific knowledge for avoiding, preventing or
reducing harmful effects on population, historic heritage …
Developing a Community approach on transport and CO2 (COM(98) 204 final)“...reduce CO2 emissions from passenger cars corresponding to an improvement in the average fuel economy of new cars in the market in the order of 30%”
Measures to be taken against air pollution by emissions from motor vehicles - Quality of fuels (Directives 98/69 and 98/70)“An adequate framework should be created as soon as possible to accelerate the introduction on the market of vehicles with innovative propulsion technologies and vehicles which use alternative fuels with a low environmental impact”
Developing the citizens’ network (COM(98) 431 final)“...support the role of local and regional passenger transport in contributing to economic development and employment, reducing congestion, using less energy, producing fewer pollutants, making less noise, reducing social exclusion and improving quality of life”
Sustainable urban development in the EU : a framework for action (COM98 605 final)“ … promote transport strategies that reduce traffic congestion and will examine ways to improve the regulatory framework for domestic public transport”
The EIA procedure ensures that environmental consequences of public and private projects (motorways, airports, urban development projects, car parks, tourism and leisure projects, railways, waste disposal, tradeports, etc.) are identified and assessed before local or national authorisation is given
through “case-by-case” examinations or by “thresholds or criteria set by the Member States”. In
both cases, the criteria should refer to characteristics of the projects (size, risks, etc.) location of the project (densely populated areas, cultural heritage significance,
etc.) characteristics of the potential impact (duration, reversibility, magnitude, etc.)
identification, description and assessment of the direct and indirect effects of projects on human beings, materials assets and cultural heritage,etc..
