ESPON MC Policy Workshop Luxembourg (March 2013)

• No major changes in past trends
• No emerging breaking technologies
• “Politics as Usual”
What’s a Baseline Scenario?
The Baseline “anchors” future explorations!
What’s a Baseline Scenario?
Where is Baseline bringing us?: to Growing Disparities
1. Mobile Population
2. Divergent Economies
3. Social Inequity4. Reactive Values
5. Limited Innovation
6. Expensive Energy
7. Subverted Proximities
8. Polarised Development
9. Hybrid Geographies
10. Europe of Two Speeds

Total Population: From 518 to 539 millions (ESPON Space)
Aging: From 26% to 47% pop >65 years /16-64 years (ESPON Space)
Total GDP : 1,89% annual growth rate (EU27)
Total GDP : 1,89% annual growth rate (EU27)
GDP/Capita : 1,9% annual growth rate (EU27)
GDP per capita (% in relation to EU27 average)
505 to 514 million inhabitants2,72% anual GDP growth
505 to 514 million inhabitants2,72% anual GDP growth
514 to 530 million inhabitants1,89% anual GDP growth
Divergent population trends across Europe?
Moderate Growth in Northern European Regions Moderate Growth in Central European Regions Reduction in Eastern European Regions Uncertain Growth in Southern European Regions Differences between large cities/more rural areas, inner/coastal areas
End of the process of moderate growth and convergence?
High Growth in Northern Countries Moderate Growth in Central Europe Eastern European Regions Slow and Polarised Growth Lasting Recession Impacts in Southern European Regions Regional Specificities seem to be more relevant?
