Cities and networks in Europe: what territorial integration?

La Rochelle - 20-21 October 2005

The aim of this transnational activity is to develop the results of ESPON on cities, networks and polycentric development issues and to confront them with other works from the European scientific community. Indeed, several presentations have linkages with several ESPON projects (Polycentricity, Transport trends, Europe in the World, Urban-rural). Moreover in order to widen the prospect, several communications present the results of other European or national programmes (INTERREG, 5th and 6th Framework Programme, national ministries) that deal with the same set of themes.

ECP France is the Lead Partner of this activity and ECP Belgium, ECP The Netherlands, ECP Denmark and ECP Slovenia are the Project Partners.
