Experts from all over Europe are invited to exchange and discuss potential effects on the development of future land-take in Europe. As part of the interactive workshop “The challenges of sustainable urbanization and land-take in Europe” results of two divergent scenarios will be presented and in-depth analyses by using a well-established territorial impact assessment tool.
The results of the workshop will be processed, especially for the development of recommendations to policymakers on sustainable land use and urbanisation interventions.
