RSA Conference 2017 in Dublin - Presentation on Inner Peripheries in Europe
Interim results of the Espon PROFECY project on the identification, delineation and description of inner peripheries in Europe were presented at the annual conference of the Regional Science Association (RSA) in Dublin as part of a special session on Spatial reorganization trends and the rising importance of relational proximity by the project team, represented by Joan Noguera (project manager, University of Valencia), Carsten Schürmann, Andrew Peltier (Nordregio), Mar Ortega-Reig (University of Valencia) and Thomas Dax (BABF). Inner peripheries are in various respects disadvantaged areas that are surrounded by prosperous ones. Inner peripheries are therefore not found in the classical peripheral areas of Europe, but also in various forms and size in its geographical Centre. The project attempts to identify and analyse these areas and to describe them in terms of the processes and drivers that take place there. |
