ESPON (European Spatial Planning Observation Network)

ESPON (European Spatial Planning Observation Network) is a research initiative that supports European spatial development by providing data, analyses, and tools. It aims to improve policymaking in areas like urban planning, regional development, and infrastructure across Europe. By examining trends and sharing best practices, ESPON helps regions and cities collaborate effectively and make informed decisions that harmonize economic, social, and environmental goals. Essentially, it acts as a knowledge hub to guide sustainable and balanced territorial development throughout Europe.
