From 2006-2014, urban social cohesion contracts focused on neighbourhoods in difficulty. The 2015-2020 city contracts act on a wide range of levels, organised around three pillars: development of economic activities and employment, social cohesion, and living conditions and urban renewal. The city contracts established within the City Policy are exemplary for the role that they give to the inhabitants of the target inter-municipalities and cities, which are represented by citizen councils.
