It is important for every city to ensure that families living in it are provided with all necessary qualitative living (for example, services, infrastructure, environmental quality, etc) Strong and prosper families are the source of economical development. Providing sustainable family-friendly environment is particularly important in small and medium-sized cities, as it is an essential prerequisite for families to choose to live in small and medium-sized cities, which have faced a decline in population in recent years. In the framework of the project, each city will develop an integrated, sustainable action plan to make their cities family-friendly. Proposals will be developed based on the developed action plans and good experiences of cities for development of common EU evaluation system for the "Family-friendly Cities". So far, in some EU countries, activities have been carried out to assess and highlight family-friendly cities. The aim of the EU pilot project would be to combine existing practices and to develop a common EU evaluation system for the "Family-friendly Cities". Future objectives: Development of international criteria for evaluating family friendly municipality International competition according to common criteria Regulations on the condition of qualification as a Family-friendly city Quality marks/certification
