New Publication - The European Metropolises and Their Regions: From Economic Landscapes to Metropolitan Networks
This publication summarises selected findings from the project entitled Future Orientation of Cities (FOCI), which was completed as part of the ESPON 2007-2013 Programme, and looked at the relationships between European metropolises and their surrounding regions. The research on the linkages between cities and their hinterlands was inspired by the European Spatial Development Perspective – ESDP (1999) which, amongst its proposed activities, highlighted the need to develop a partnership between cities and rural areas. This stance informed a number of research projects such as PLUREL, funded as part of the 6th Framework Programme, or EDORA within the ESPON 2007-2013 programme. Nonetheless, the studies discussed in this publication basically leave aside the dichotomous division into cities and rural areas analysed in the aforementioned projects, and instead focus on the division into metropolitan areas and their regional surroundings, which seems to more accurately address the economic realities of the present day.
