    1. Compact Green Cities: From an Oxymoron to a Target

    3. The American Dream

    4. Urban Sprawl in Europe

    5. Urban Growth & Shrinkage Since the mid 1950s European cities have expanded on average by 78 %, whereas the population has grown only by 33 %

    6. Urbanization on the edges of existing agglomerations

    7. SRES variant scenarios

    9. Urban sprawl - negative consequences Consumption of land, loss of agricultural land and open space Destruction of biotopes and fragmentation of ecosystems Higher cost of public services, especially transport Increase of the use of private car, traffic congestion Increase in fuel consumption and air pollution Decay of downtown areas Social segregation and reduction of social interaction Poor access to to services for those with limited mobility (SCATTER project)

    10. Urban Density and Energy Consumption

    13. The potential conflict between mitigation and adaptation

    14. The potential conflict between mitigation and adaptation

    15. Oxymoron: Compact Green City

    16. 1. Better coordination between transport, land use and open space planning

    17. 2. Preservation of the green infrastructure for walking and cycling

    18. 3. Create new urban landscapes of a Compact Garden City

    24. Peri-urban Land Use Relationships (PLUREL) 2007-2010 Models and strategies to enhance the understanding and handling of relationships between rural, peri-urban and urban land uses Study and model the demands and competition for resources in Rural-Urban regions Land-use scenarios for Rural-Urban regions in Europe To explore case study regions in order to analyse the implications of planning policies and governance structures, and identify strategies for sustainable development To assess environmental, social and economis impacts of land use changes Enhance learning, cooperation and communication between policy makers, stakeholders, planners and researchers
