European Spatial Planning Observation Network

The European Spatial Planning Observation Network (ESPON) is a project that provides detailed information, data, and analysis about how different regions in Europe grow and develop. It helps policymakers understand regional differences, opportunities, and challenges related to geography, infrastructure, economy, and environment. By collecting and sharing this information, ESPON supports coordinated and sustainable regional development across Europe, aiming for balanced growth, better resource management, and improved quality of life for communities.
