Abstract: Small urban areas (SUAs) form the backbone of the polycentric urban structure of the EU. As such, their role in ensuring a balanced territorial development has been widely recognised at EU level. The diversity of SUAs – in terms of their settlement structures, functional roles and development trends – make it challenging to develop overarching recipes for SUA development pathways. The ‘Policy Atlas of Sustainable Urban Development for Small Urban Areas’ serves as a valuable tool for policy makers, practitioners and academics seeking to gain insight into the unique characteristics of SUAs in the EU. By offering evidence-based insights and practical recommendations, the atlas provides a compass for navigating the policy challenges of sustainable urban development in SUAs and facilitates the promotion of strategies tailored to their needs.
