  4. Typology work: first round Grasping the European urban and rural • via national, diverse classification systems • collecting of definitions used by the NSIs or equivalent • indicing the share of rural population with the country average • relating the different ruralities with each other via the total population density

  5. Urban population based on national classifications

  6. Rural population based on national classifications

  7. Rural population based on national classifications

  8. Typology work: second round Grasping the European urban and rural • European, harmonised classification systems • Physical environment, human intervention: building – agriculture – “non-affected” land • Population density • Urban system

  9. Share of agricultural land

  10. Share of ”wilderness”

  11. Share of artificial surface

  12. Artificial surface per capita

  13. Land use categories & population density

  14. Population and urban integration:four categories Population density and share of population living in FUAs / 4 categories at NUTS3- and NUTS2-level Population density and share of FUA population above average Only population density above average Only the share of FUA population above average Population density and share of FUA population below or equal to average Note: in Belgium, Germany and The Netherlands the area unit is NUTS2.

  15. Share of urban population

  16. FUA ranking + degree of urban integration Classification of FUAs 4 European / global level 3 National / Transnational 2 Local / Regional FUA 4, population density above average FUA 4, share of population living in FUAs above average FUA 3, population density above average FUA 3, share of population living in FUAs above average FUA 3, population density and share of population living in FUAs below or equal to average FUA 2, population density above average FUA 2, share of population living in FUAs above average FUA 2, population density and share of population living in FUAs below or equal to average No FUAs, population density and share of people livin in FUAs below or equal to average

  17. Map 14: Combination of land use type, population density and the share of FUA population / 24 categories Urban-rural typology: 24 categories Land use, dominant categories (6 different combinations) X Population density, share of FUA population (4 different combinations)  Map

  18. Map 14: Combination of land use type, population density and the share of FUA population / 24 categories Urban-rural typology: 24 categories Share of artificial surface above average, pop. density and share of FUA pop. above avg Share of artificial surface above average, population density above average Share of artificial surface above average, share of FUA population above average Share of artificial surface above average, population density and share of FUA population below or equal to average Share of artificial surface and agricultural land above average, population density and share of FUA population above average Share of artificial surface and agricultural land above average, population density average Share of artificial surface and agricultural land above average, share of FUA population above average Share of artificial surface and agricultural land above average, population density and share of FUA population below or equal to avg Share of artificial surface and “wilderness” above average, population density and share of FUA population above average Share of artificial surface and “wilderness” above average, population density above average Share of artificial surface and “wilderness” above average, share of FUA population above average Share of artificial surface and “wilderness” above average, population density and share of FUA population below or equal to average Share of agricultural land above average, population density and share of FUA population above average Share of agricultural land above average, population density above average Share of agricultural land above average, share of FUA population above average Share of agricultural land above average, population density and share of FUA population below or equal to average Share of agricultural land and “wilderness” above average, population density and share of FUA population above average Share of agricultural land and “wilderness” above average, population density above average Share of agricultural land and “wilderness” above average, share of FUA population above average Share of agricultural land and “wilderness” above average, population density and share of FUA population below or equal to average Share of “wilderness” above average, population density and share of FUA population above average Share of “wilderness” above average, population density above average Share of “wilderness” above average, share of FUA population above average Share of “wilderness” above average, population density and share of FUA population below or equal to average Map

  19. High share of artificial surface only • Urban, densely populated and high urban integration • High share of artificial surface and agriculture or “wilderness” • Urban-rural, densely populated and high urban integration • Urban-rural, not densely populated but high urban integration • Urban-peripheral, not densely populated and low urban integration • High share of agriculture only or agriculture and “wilderness” • Rural-urban, densely populated and high urban integration • Rural-urban, not densely populated but high urban integration • Rural-peripheral, not densely populated and low urban integration • High share of “wilderness” only • Peripheral-urban, densely populated and high urban integration • Peripheral-rural, not densely populated but high urban integration • Peripheral, not densely populated and low urban integration Urban-rural typology

  20. Urban-rural typology: 10 categories

  21. Policy implications • some key ESDP objectives correspond to tendencies that are already in full swing; • the ”over-representation” of medium-sized cities vs. policy option 14 and 20 • enlarging commuter catchment areas vs. policy options 22 and 23 • important exceptions to this rule from several corners of Europe must be noted • what is not supported, are the policy options related to qualitative aspects of environment (53, 54, 56)

  22. Policy recommendations • evaluation of EU-policies that impact urban-rural relations: any sensitivity in sight? • national policies addressing u-r? => growing recognition of interdependencies, although promotion often a subsidiary aim • regional/local initiatives: some good practise examples identified
