  1. Towards a European research programme and an evidence-based European spatial development policy Warszawa 02 June 2007 Peter Schön, BBR Peter Schön, BBR

  2. Evidence-based policy • Ministerial Meeting Rotterdam 2004 • and Luxembourg 2005 • Territorial Agenda of the EU (TAEU): consisting of policy priorities and future key actions • Background analysis by evidence paper „The Territorial State and Perspectives of the EU“ (TSP) • with analyses of the challenges of spatial development policies and examples of how to better use the territorial diversity of European regions Peter Schön, BBR

  3. Evidence-based policy Science „on top“ or „on tap“? Science „on top“ Politics Politics Science „on tap“ Peter Schön, BBR Simin Davoudi: DISP 2006

  4. Science and politics as two distinct self-referential sub-systems Science Politics Knowledge Broker Peter Schön, BBR Böhme/Schön: DISP 2006

  5. Peter Schön, BBR Böhme/Schön: DISP 2006

  6. Creating an evidence base for European spatial development policy • There have been four consecutive models for implementing a European spatial planning research network: • 1994-1999 Network of 15 research institutes appointed by their national ministries • 2000/2001 Study Programme on European Research (SPESP) (Network of 15 National Focal Points) • 2002-2006 ESPON 2006(Programme and Project based) • 2007-2013 ESPON 2013 (how will the future ESPON 2013 look like?)

  10. Achievements of ESPON 2006 • 35 projects, 25000 pages • Structures and trends: population, economy, environment, hazards, urban structures, accessibility, information society • Policy impact studies: CAP, R&D, TEN, Structural funds, pre-accession aid • Cross-thematic integrative studies and scenarios • Europe as a world region • Data base, mapping tools, methodological reflections /e.g. on NUTS units) Peter Schön, BBR

  11. Use of ESPON results • ESPON results have been published in single reports and in synthetic reports and a European ESPON atlas • ESPON results have found their way into the European policy discussions and in documents like the (third and) fourth cohesion report and the Terriorial Agenda / TSP document Peter Schön, BBR

  12. Chronology after Leipzig / Tampere • 1999 ESDP, Leipzig • 1999 ESDP Action Programme, Tampere • 2001-2 Lisbon and Gothenburg Strategy • 2004 EU enlargement, EU-25 • 2004 EU constitutional treaty, territorial cohesion • 2004-5 Ministerial Meetings of Rotterdam and Luxembourg: Evidence-Based Document on Territorial Development • 2007 EU enlargement, EU-27 • 2007 Ministerial Meeting of Leipzig: Territorial Agenda and TSP document Peter Schön, BBR

  13. Ministerial Meeting Territorial Agenda of the EU: Informal Ministerial Meeting on Territorial Cohesion on 25 May 2007 in Leipzig • Focus of the Rotterdam process: • How can we mobilise diverse territorial potentials of the regions for strengthening economic growth and employment? • Response of the member states: Peter Schön, BBR • Territorial Agenda of the EU (TAEU)

  14. Elaboration of two documents • Territorial Agenda of the EU (TAEU): consisting of policy priorities and future key actions • Background analysis by evidence paper „The Territorial State and Perspectives of the EU“ (TSP) • with analyses of the challenges of spatial development policies and examples of how to better use the territorial diversity of European regions Peter Schön, BBR

  15. Six policy priorities Promoting urban networking in a polycentric pattern (fostering strengths) Strengthening urban-rural partnership Spatial development in a triad: economy – science – administration Strengthening trans-European technological networks Promoting trans-European risk management Strengthening ecological structures and cultural resources Peter Schön, BBR

  16. Priority 1 Networking of metropolitan regions and regional centres (fostering strengths) • Promoting a polycentric pattern • Strengthening metropolitan regions and their international competitiveness • Strengthening of cities and urban areas also beyond the core area • Support of small and medium cities and their connection to metropolitan areas • Examples: PlaNetCenSE, LHASA Peter Schön, BBR

  17. Priority 2 Strengthening Urban-Rural Partnership • Set-up and upgrading of urban-rural partnerships, Exploitation of new forms of governance • Ensuring a sufficient level of services of general interest • Utilisation of the variety of potentials in rural and urban areas and their interrelationships • Identification of common development assets, endogenous potentials as well as development strategies • Example: Local recreation function of Brandenburg’s hinterland for Berlin Peter Schön, BBR

  18. Priority 3 Spatial Development in a triad: Economy – Science – Administration • Strengthen international identity and specialisation • Cooperation in territorial development, labour markets, education / training, R&D, risk capital • Networking of universities, R&D and education institution • Innovation Cluster Peter Schön, BBR

  19. Priority 4 Strengthening Trans-European technological networks and corridors • Realising trans-European main corridors (ICT, transport und energy networks) • Linking secondary networks • Managing the growing transport volumes and thus pollution (integrated / intermodularsolutions) • Ensuring efficient, safe and environmentally friendly energy Peter Schön, BBR

  20. Priority 5 Promoting trans-European risk management • Management of trans-European technological and natural risks • Spatial approach to integrated decision making and new forms of transnational risk governance • Especially for multi-hazard areas (coastal zones, lakesides, maritime and river basins, mountain areas) • INTERREG Rhine-Maas Activities led to other transnational measures for flood prevention with means of spatial planning (ELLA, OderRegio) Peter Schön, BBR

  21. Priority 6 Valorisation of ecological and cultural heritage • Securing the irreplaceable values of European ecological structures and cultural resources • Further development of the existing ecological networks in order to create an integrated and sustainable trans-European ecological structure with adequate green corridors and zones of cultural landscapes • Coordinated transnational interventions and management • Examples: EuRoB, Idequa, Hermes Peter Schön, BBR

  22. Ministerial Meeting in Leipzig 25 May 2007 • The Ministers focussed on three topics: • Demographic change • Climate change and hazards • Balanced polycentric development Peter Schön, BBR

  28. Next steps of implementation of the Territorial Agenda FI • Espoo (FI, 16/11/2006, DG meeting): start of political debate • Leipzig (25/05/2007): Adoption of the TAEU at the informal ministerial meeting • Lisbon (12/2007, informal ministerial meeting): Agreement on action programme for the implementation of the TAEU • Take TA into account for preparation of 2008 spring Council (achieving stronger and more formal political recognition of territorial dimension of Lisbon / Gothenburg) D S t a k e h o l d e r D i a l o g P SLO Peter Schön, BBR

  29. Territorially relevant Key EU-dossiers • EU wide debate on EU key dossiers: • Post 2010 Lisbon process • 2011 review of Sustainable Development Strategy • Review of EU budget • Midterm review of Cohesion Policy and debate on post 2013 • Post 2013 CAP; midterm review of Rural Development Policy • Green Paper on Maritime Policy • Review of 6th and preparation of 7th Environmental Action Program with related thematic strategies • Debate on Transport Policy post 2010 • Debate on Energy Policy • Research and Innovation Policy • Debate on Governance and EU Constitution Peter Schön, BBR

  30. ESPON 2013 • Further research projects on Europe and its regions • Basic tools and European data base • Client-oriented projects which deepen and apply ESPON results to selected macro regions and problem types, links with other programmes of territorial cooperation (Interreg IV B) Peter Schön, BBR

  31. Some challenges for ESPON 2013 • Position as a knowledge broker between scientific research and policy advice and conclusions • Secure high scientific standards • Include scientists from all European countries, esp. new member states • Develop a client-oriented approach together with (non-national) stakeholders (cities, regions, macro-regions, etc.) Peter Schön, BBR

  32. ESPON seminar • The next ESPON seminar on 12/13 June in Bonn will explore some of these topics, esp. the „client oriented approach“ Peter Schön, BBR
