Possible European Territorial Futures

Description of call
"Possible European Territorial Futures"

The research activity should be based on a foresight approach and answer specific “what-if” questions to provide information on likely impacts for territorial cohesion, for the balance and polycentricity of the European territory, and for the different types of regions and cities in Europe. Its results should assist in managing uncertainties.

The three key policy questions are as follows:

What could be the territorial consequences if a new place-based economic organisation were implemented as part of a circular economy?
What could be the territorial consequences if Europe’s energy production and consumption were 100% renewable?
What could be the territorial consequences if the European property markets collapsed?
