  • Patterns of Urban Spatial Expansion in European Cities

Urban spatial discontinuity, which occurs when the urban fabric includes built-up or green areas and a relevant share of vacant spaces, has gained recent attention. In this paper, we use Global Human Settlement Layer data to track urbanisation dynamics in European Functional Urban Areas (FUAs) from 1990 to 2014. We represent urban sprawl as the spatial expansion of FUAs associated with either or both declining population density and increasing built-up area discontinuity. We also consider the association with the demographic trends that have been described as the primary driver of urban spatial expansion. We use configural frequency analysis to explore the local association between the different characters of sprawl. We found evidence that urban sprawl effectively took differentiated forms across European FUAs. Even though FUAs have generally become less dense and more disperse, our results show that the extent of these phenomena appears to be more contained in recent years than in previous decades.

  • Eu Myths and Success Stories
    www.mega.bupnet.eu EU MYTHS AND SUCCESS STORIES The European Commission's support for the production of this publication does not constitute an endorsement of the contents, which reflect the views only of the authors, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein. www.mega.bupnet.eu INTRODUCTION What is an EU myth? EU myth or euromyth usually refers to invented stories or distorted facts about the European Union (EU) and the activities of its institutions. The EU is accused of nonsensical EU legislation, bureaucracy and all difficulties and challenges arising from global trends. Why should we talk about EU myths and check the real facts? As European Union constantly faces different manifestations of Europhobia, unmasking EU myths becomes more and more important to keep the EU united. Web-based communication and social media take a significant part in today’s Eurosceptic mobilization. Facts checking help not only to unmask the EU myths but as well to better understand the EU processes. What is MEGA project? MEGA project stands for Make Europe Great Again and is a two-year project funded by the Erasmus+ Programme (project number 2019-3-DE04-KA205- 018681) that aims at enhancing critical thinking and media literacy of young people by analysing and unmasking Europhobic myths. The project partnership is coordinated by the German Adult Education provider BUPNET GmbH based in Göttingen and consists of partners from Austria, Cyprus, France, Italy and Lithuania. Compilation of the EU myths (fake news) and success stories consists of 145 of the most common EU myths along with the explanations with facts and useful links where correct information can be found and 60 success stories along with shortcomings of the EU.

  • City-Regions in Europe: the Potentials and the Realities Special Outlook: the Role of Public Transport Cooperation
    CITY-REGIONS IN EUROPE: THE POTENTIALS AND THE REALITIES SPECIAL OUTLOOK: THE ROLE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT COOPERATION Iván Tosics Metropolitan Research Institute, Budapest Paper prepared for the EURA conference The Vital City WS13 Urban Form, Transport and Sustainability Glasgow 12-14 September 2007 The aim of the paper is to analyse the recently very fashionable ‘city-region’ (metropolitan area) issue. Two very different sources of information will be taken into account for the same group of cities. One of these is a recent URBACT project, which focuses on exploring administrative set-ups and territorial policies within eight European metropolitan areas (Birmingham, Budapest, Cologne, Frankfurt, Glasgow, Lille, Malmö, Milan). The other is a very fresh ESPON analysis on urban functions for all EU metropolitan areas, which differentiates between morphological and functional urban areas. The combination of these two empirical sources allows the comparison between administratively-politically dominated ‘actions’ and geographic-economic ‘realities’ for the eight case study urban areas. On this empirical basis it is interesting to explore the large differences between EU countries (and regions) towards city-region cooperation. As it will be demonstrated, there are very different metropolitan-wide policies observable in relation of planning, economic and regulatory functions. Within the general topic of city-region cooperation the paper aims to have a special outlook on public transport solutions on metropolitan level. Transport is obviously an important element from the point of view of city-region relationships. The travel-to-work area is considered to be one of the most important determinants of the Functional Urban Area around the core city and is therefore one of the potential delimiting factor for the city-region area.

    Europe in May 2019 Preparing for a more united, stronger and more democratic Union in an increasingly uncertain world The European Commission's contribution to the informal EU27 leaders' meeting in Sibiu (Romania) on 9 May 2019 E P O R U E F O RE TU FU EN 1 E OP UR F E E O FUTUR 2 Foreword In my 2017 State of the Union address, I suggested, as part of our Roadmap for a more united, stronger and more democratic Union, that Europe’s leaders meet to prepare our future at 27 in Sibiu, Romania – a city with a unique story, representing Europe East and West, past and future. Our meeting there on 9 May will be the moment to show what a united Union can achieve in the future, and this right ahead of the European Parliament elections between 23 and 26 May. Over the last five years, we have been tested as we have grappled with a myriad of crises. But we have emerged stronger every time. And through it all, we have kept our relentless focus on delivering on the promises we made five years ago, when leaders set out, in the light of the outcome of the European Parliament elections, a strategic agenda for 2014 to 2019, which I shaped in parallel into the 10 political priorities for my Commission. At the time, I said it was our last chance to show Europeans that their Union works for them. The Commission which I have the honour of presiding has lived and breathed this mission, listening to Europeans’ hopes, fears and expectations.

  • Scaling Evidence of the Homothetic Nature of Cities Arxiv:1704.06508V1 [Physics.Soc-Ph] 21 Apr 2017
    Scaling evidence of the homothetic nature of cities Rémi Lemoy and Geoffrey Caruso University of Luxembourg, Maison des Sciences Humaines, 11 Porte des Sciences, L-4366 Esch-Belval, Luxembourg e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Draft working paper - version April 24, 2017 Keywords: land use, population density, monocentric analysis, scaling laws, Zipf JEL: R14, R31, C55 Abstract In this paper we analyse the profile of land use and population density with respect to the distance to the city centre for the European city. In addition to providing the radial population density and soil-sealing profiles for a large set of cities, we demonstrate a remarkable constancy of the profiles across city size. Our analysis combines the GMES/Copernicus Urban Atlas 2006 land use database at 5m resolu- tion for 300 European cities with more than 100.000 inhabitants and the Geostat population grid at 1km resolution. Population is allocated proportionally to surface and weighted by soil sealing and density classes of the Urban Atlas. We analyse the profile of each artificial land use and population with distance to the town hall. In line with earlier literature, we confirm the strong monocentricity of the European city and the negative exponential curve for population density. Moreover, we find that land use curves, in particular the share of housing and roads, scale along the two horizontal dimensions with the square root of city population, while population curves scale in three dimensions with the cubic root of city population. In short, European cities of different sizes are homothetic in terms of land use and population density.
