'The accelerating globalisation and new emerging markets will have major impacts on Europe and its territory, cities and regions,' states the Europe in the World Report of ESPON. Peter Mehlbye, Director of the ESPON Coordination Unit, explains that the report includes a series of scientifically proved world maps that can contribute to the understanding of the territorial dimension of the accelerating globalization. The new maps show structures and international connections of countries and regions of Europe as well as the situation of Europe in the world, particularly in relation to the countries located in its immediate neighbourhood. The main authors behind the report, Pierre Beckouche, Clarisse Didelon and Claude Grasland have delivered statistical and cartographic evidence on key messages, amongst them: How do global production places and international trade flows affect Europe, its regions and cities? What are the consequences of international economic and demographic growth and migration for Europe? Where are European gateway cities for the global linkage of Europe to the rest of the world? |
