Interface territories across the Alpine region: Final results online

The InTerAlp project (Jan-Nov 2024), funded by ESPON EGTC examined interface territories across the Alpine region. Alpine ‘interface territories’ are a highly relevant and interesting spatial category. By linking mountainous and inner-Alpine areas with pre-Alpine lowlands, they are a very specific territorial type: Highly dynamic flows and interdependencies as well as controversial stakeholder interests meet in a rather limited spatial framework. Organizing sustainable spatial development in thi...

Towards an Alpine Spatial Development Perspective

A new report by Tobias Chilla, Hannah Paul, Dominik Bertram and Markus Lambracht brings together important arguments towards an Alpine Spatial Development Perspective (ASDP). This synthesis report brings together three input papers focusing on sectoral perspectives, namely transport & connectivity, green infrastructure and economic development. This process was initiated by the Spatial Planning and Sustainable Development Working Group of the Alpine Convention. The document summarises the...

Call for papers: Urban networks in mountain regions from a global perspective

Urban networks play a crucial role for spatial development in mountain regions. Efficient settlement systems are an important basis for a good quality of life. Effective spatial organization of urban functions can improve overall economic, social and environmental development. A variety of obstacles, including relief and altitude, demographic change, and cross-border barriers, complicate spatial development efforts in mountain areas. Settlement systems assume a vital function in addressing th...

Settlement Systems in Mountain Regions: A Research Gap?

Cities and their networks play an important role in spatial development. This is true for settlement systems in general, and there is no reason why this should be different in mountain contexts. However, research on this topic is scarce, and it remains a relatively niche topic. In our latest article, we present a scoping review of settlement systems in mountain regions. We reflect on thematic foci, temporal developments, and regional differences in the global scientific debate. The paper is p...

Alps 2050: Inception Report and Delphi study

The ESPON project Alps 2050 aims to develop spatial perspectives towards the year 2050 - helping to achieve a succesfull and sustainable regional development. The project consortium - led by the University of Erlangen - has now concretised the project's appraoch and shows first preliminary results in the Inception Report. In these days, an online survey starts, involving experts from all over the Alpine region (so-called Delphi study).The experts cover seven countries, the national, region...
