ESPON LAKES - Territorial development opportunities for Europe's largest lakes

Spatial Foresight coordinates an ESPON Targeted analysis dealing with integrated development opportunities of regions covering large lakes in Europe. The study will focus more on the Balaton, Constance, and Vänern lakes. In addition, smaller case studies of 9 other lake regions will be carried out. The objectives are to compile comparable evidence from these different regions, to elaborate guidelines for their integrated territorial development and to help them to position themselves in wider national and European policy contexts. The project also involves the Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen (Germany), the HÉTFA research institute in Budapest (Hungary) and a number of additional experts from case study areas.
