TPM - Territorial Performance Monitoring

Main areas of analysis

• Analyzing the case study regions and how the four macro-challenges are tackled.
• Elaboration of a model performance monitoring tool kit in order to assess the performance of regions and to identify factors that can explain why certain regions perform better than others.
• Providing analytical support for strategy building by looking at how experiences can be shared and used into developing more effective territorial policy actions.

Main results envisaged

• A methodological frame for future research on monitoring systems regarding specific types of regions.
• A monitoring territorial performance tool kit, integrating qualitative and quantitative methods that can be used for measuring the regional performance of urban polycentric regions in Europe and ideas on how it can be used to support policy making.
• Indicators offering additional information on the territorial impact of macro-challenges on NUTS 2, 3 and at local scale.
• Insight on how regional territorial strategies deal with macro-challenges.
• Knowledge on regional challenges that are not recognised on a European level and might require further research.
