TRACC TR ansport ACC essibility at Regional/Local Scale and Patterns in Europe

This seminar explores the challenges, priorities, and impacts of accessibility in the Territorial Agenda 2020. It analyzes the relationship between accessibility, economic development, and environmental indicators, and presents long-term scenarios for European transport. The seminar also examines regional case studies and discusses planned policy scenarios.

  1. TRACC TRansport ACCessibility at Regional/Local Scale and Patterns in Europe ESPON 2013 Programme Open Seminar Evidence and Knowledge Needs for the Territorial Agenda 2020 and EU Cohesion Policy 21-22 June 2011 Gödöllö, Hungary

  2. Accessibility in the Territorial Agenda 2020 Challenges • Exposure to globalisation • Global gateways as assets • Other region benefit if connected through networks • EU integration and growing interdependencies • Core-periphery division still present, even on national scale • Growing demand for better connectivity • Social challenge • “The risk of (socio-economic) exclusion is higher in areas with low accessibility“

  3. Accessibility in the Territorial Agenda 2020 Territorial Priorities 1) Polycentric and balanced territorial development • Avoid polarisation 2) Integrated development • Rural, peripheral and sparsely populated territories may need to enhance their accessibility • Improve accessibility of urban centres from rural areas • Ensure necessary availability of job opportunities and services of general interest 4) Global competitiveness • Integration of local endowment into global economy

  4. Accessibility in the Territorial Agenda 2020 Territorial Priorities (cont.) 5) Improving territorial connectivity • Fair and affordable accessibility to services of general interest are essential for territorial cohseion • Secure access to road, rail, water and air transport • TEN-T • Linking primary and secondary networks • Encourage accessibility of urban centres in peripheries Making EU territorial cohesion a reality Taking territorial impacts into account during policy development can help to avoid creating barriers to implementation and unintended side effects.

  5. Analysis of the relationship between accessibilityand economic development and environmental indicators over time. • Consistent set of long-term scenarios of European transport. • Likely spatial impacts of European transport scenarios up to the year 2030 (regional accessibility, regional economic development, territorial cohesion, polycentricity, environmental impacts).
