ESPON seminar, Rome, 4.12.14
Estelle EVRARD, University of Luxembourgon behalf of the Transnational Project Group
The spatial setting: The Functional Urban Areas (FUAs) of the cross-border polycentric metropolitan regions (CBPMRs)
‘CBPMRs‘ – where are they?
Questions to address
1. What is the added value of integrated approaches to the development of territories?
2. What concepts and experiences exist in building integrated territorial strategies for macro-regions and across borders?
3. How could integrated strategies be further promoted and contribute to current policy challenges?

Face growing functional interdependencies
Greater Region – Upper Rhine Functional Urban Areas
Developing a common understanding of cross-border spaces
Metropolitan accessibility? Number of flights per day and airport for the two case study regions and their surrounding areas
Facing competition?
Developing complementarities

The five most important barriers for an enhanced cross-border cooperation in both case study regions (Delphi study)
Numerous challenges
The ‚Summit of the Greater Region‘ as a multi-level cooperation
The ‘Upper Rhine Conference‘ as a multi-level cooperation
Investigating multi-level governance

What role for the EU? Results from the Delphi study (n GR= 156, n UR =89)
Investigating multi-level governance
