The goal of SUPER* is not merely to measure urbanization and land-use change in Europe, but also explain how it happens. For this purpose, the ESPON SUPER project carried out 11 in-depth case studies on the impact of interventions on land development practices, collected and analysed over 200 land-use interventions and 59 different EU policies, created three urbanisation scenarios, and created a toolbox for policymakers.
