Europe in 2030: The Crisis Aftermath Implications for Spatial Strategies Andreu Ulied, MCRIT ESPON Scenarios and Vision project, ET2050 Lead Partner • ESPON 2013 Open Seminar : Territorial Co-operation for growth • 13 and 14 June 2013 Dublin Castle
Questions to be discussed: • What may be the Crisis Aftermath from now to 2030? Regional Disparities?, Global Opennes?, Spatial Polarisation? • Which Territorial Strategy for Europe up to 2050? • How European Cohesion policy should be reformed?
Answers mostly based on ET2050 modelling results... • Politecnico Milano: modelling 2010-2030 Baseline Scenario with MASST3 model • S&W modelling 2010-2050 Exploratory Scenarios with SASI model • Reference World Scenario by MCRIT

Key Baseline Conclusions... 1) End of Economic Convergence in Europe… 2) Increasing Regional Gaps… 3) Lower Average Salaries and Social Disparities... 4) More Labour Mobility in Europe… 5) Global Reorientation of European Economies… 6) More Polarisation in European Global Gateways…
Second Question... • What may be the Crisis Aftermath from now to 2030? • Which European Territorial Strategy up to 2050? • How European Cohesion policies could be reformed?
Highest and Lowest Growth Scenarios for 2050? GDP 1981-2051 (1981=100)
Highest Divergence and Highest Convergence? Cohesion: CoV of GDP/capita 1981-2051 2007 Crisis
Polycentrism National polycentricity EU12 1981-2051

How Cohesion polices could be reformed? According to Danuta Huebner, referring to her native Poland, an EU member since 2004: "It is a different country now. That's thanks to European contributions"
How Cohesion polices may be reformed? • + Sensitivity to economic cycles? • + Local, Regional and National institutional empowerment? • + Place-based focus towards endogenous development? • + More Local and Regional Infrastructure Endowment? • + Land-Use Regulations adopted in vulnerable areas? • + Investments to Neighboring Countries?
