Geography is intrinsic to the European Union, shaping policies from regional development to territorial cohesion. Unravelling European geographical terminology like “Macro-regional Strategies” and “Cohesion Policy” offers insights into the EU’s commitment to balanced growth. As the EU supports local communities and addresses spatial disparities, understanding geographical terms is vital for discussions on initiatives like the European Territorial Cooperation. In a diverse continent with varying needs, precise use of geographical terminology is essential for comprehending the EU’s actions to promote harmonious development.
