The German ESPON Contact Point operating in the Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs, and Spatial Development (BBSR), within the Federal Office for Building and Regional Planning (BBR), cordially invites local stakeholders from the Eurodistrict Strasbourg-Ortenau to participate in a collaborative workshop. The workshop will leverage the innovative ACTAREA tool developed by ESPON to address and analyze the spatial needs within the region.
Maps are a useful and easy way to make complex information accessible to a wide audience.
Rural, mountainous, sparsely or highly populated – regions have different opportunities and challenges. Decision-makers need reliable data to plan successful development.
When new policies are implemented, some regions are more affected than others. To enable a better understanding of future impact of policies before decisions are made, ESPON has developed territorial impact assessment tools.
For an effective policy development, policy makers take into account the specific characteristics of the different regions.
Maps are an important tool for policy makers, who need reliable data and an easy way to visualize information.
Territories are living legacies from the past and contain development potentials for the future. Each territory, be it a rural or urban area, a mountain region or an island, whether it is sparsely or densely populated, all have their own unique development conditions.
Intelligent, sustainable and inclusive growth – this is the strategy for Europe 2020. Better European competitiveness, targeted investment and the use of development opportunities related to diversity are the keys to success.
Through ESPON indicators and its database, regions and cities find support to understand their potentials and challenges seen from a European perspective.
Through free access to its research results, analysis, tools and maps, ESPON enhances the understanding of territorial diversity and development opportunities in Europe.
ESPON is addressing global challenges such as climate change and its impacts on European regions.
