Indicators Resources and Discussion Forum
23-Jun-09
This forum is based on the outcomes of the ESPON UK Workshop:
UK Spatial Development Evidence Base, Leeds, 23 September 2009
The workshop, hosted by the ESPON UK Contact Point, RTPI Development Planning Network and CLG, brought together researchers and practitioners to explore the potential for using data generated by the ESPON research programme. Participants considered how ESPON can help to develop and inform spatial development indicators for planning and economic development in the UK in the context of the European Territorial Agenda (workshop programme).
