Les villes sont inévitablement touchées par des chocs et des perturbations, la pandémie étant un exemple probant. Toutefois, l’étendue des répercussions dépend de l’état de préparation et de la capacité d’adaptation des villes. En pensant au futur, les villes peuvent envisager les évolutions émergentes ou plausibles afin de les anticiper et d’atténuer les éventuelles perturbations. En s’appuyant sur un rapport élaboré par le système européen d’analyse stratégique et politique (ESPAS), cette étude ...

Our towns and cities are home to nearly three quarters of the EU's population, and most EU policies concern them, be it directly or indirectly. While the revised 2014-2020 cohesion policy framework introduced a number of new instruments intended to enhance the urban dimension of cohesion funding, a shared vision of urban development has gradually taken shape at inter-governmental level, accompanied by increasing calls to give city authorities and stakeholders a greater say in policymaking. To help ...

In the European Union (EU), where nearly three quarters of the population live in urban areas, many cities are leading the way in this regard, taking action in three areas central to increasing energy efficiency and reducing emissions – namely, buildings, energy supply, and transport – and acting as living laboratories of climate-change-related innovation. The EU supports ...

Cette note sur les déplacements dans la grande agglomération toulousaine a été rédigée pour la mission en France de la Commission TRAN (21-23 février 2017).

This report was commissioned to provide background information and advice on Smart Cities in the European Union (EU) and to explain how existing mechanisms perform. In exploring this, a working definition of a Smart City is established and the cities fitting this definition across the Member States are mapped. An analysis of the objectives and Europe 2020 targets of Smart City initiatives finds that despite their early stage of development, Smart City objectives should be more explicit, well defined ...

There are 35 unrecognised Bedouin villages, many outdating the creation of the state of Israel. They lack basic services and the Israeli authorities consider the villages' inhabitants illegal trespassers. Israel actively promotes Jewish settlement in the Negev and has extensive plans to develop economic and military activity in the region. These entail confining the Bedouins into small enclaves. Although the Bedouins face serious social problems and lack prospects to sustainably develop their ...
