eyes, minds, and souls. The type of actions set out above are in line with the New European Bauhaus initiative and provide opportunities to realize beautiful, sustainable, and inclusive projects through the Programme. Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) Analysis A DNSH analysis has been carried out at the level of the types of actions defined above and it has been determined that these actions would do no significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The main target groups - point (d)(iii) of Article 22(3) CPR: The main target beneficiaries for the actions under RSO5.1 are Local Authorities with primary responsibility for sustainable and integrated urban development and implementation of the Town Centre First policy in the selected towns within the programme area. Local Authorities will work with other local and regional stakeholders to develop and deliver integrated urban development strategies and associated operations, including private citizens, local enterprises, industry groups, community development groups, property owners and public bodies. Actions safeguarding equality, inclusion and non-discrimination – point (d)(iv) of Article 22(3) CPR and Article 6 ESF+ Regulation Please refer to details already provided under 'Actions safeguarding equality, inclusion and non-discrimination – point (d)(iv) of Article 22(3) CPR and Article 6 ESF+ Regulation' under RSO1.1. Indication of the specific territories targeted, including the planned use of territorial tools – point (d)(v) of Article 22(3) CPR Supported actions will be targeted towards key towns and regional growth centres in the two NUT2 regions in the programme area. Integrated territorial strategies will be used under this specific objective. These will take the form of "territorial tool supporting initiatives designed by the Member State" pursuant to point (c) of Article 28 CPR. The interregional, cross-border and transnational actions – point (d)(vi) of Article 22(3) CPR The main target beneficiaries for Action RSO5.1.1 – Local Authorities in the programme area – have been actively involved in over 100 interregional, cross-border and transnational projects during the current programming period as partners and stakeholders including Interreg Ireland/Wales, Interreg Europe, Interreg Atlantic Area, Interreg Northern Periphery and Artic, Interreg North West Europe, Creative Europe, Horizon 2020, URBACT III, ESPON and EU Life. Many of these projects, e.g., Rediscovering Ancient Connections, Murals for Communities, MMIAH, Playful Paradigm, PLACE-EE, Health&Greenspace, Go Green Routes, Celtic Routes and GeoLife, focused on improving placemaking, town centres and regeneration. The knowledge, expertise and innovations gained by the beneficiaries through their past participation in these projects together with their future participation in similar projects will support interregional, cross-border and transnational learning and activities. In addition, the involvement of multiple actors in the creation of the integrated urban strategies at the heart of this action creates opportunities to collaborate with these actors and transnational actors on a range of design, implementation and evaluation activities throughout the lifetime of the programme. The planned use of financial instruments – point (d)(vii) of Article 22(3) CPR The selected form of support for all actions under PO5 is grants. None of the supported actions are expected to generate a return. The use of financial instruments would therefore not be feasible as a form of support and would not be attractive to potential beneficiaries.
