“…To encourage international economic integration in the EU, increase the competitiveness of the EU internal market and reduce economic inequalities, the EU encourages the improvement of cross-border transport links (López et al, 2009) with European Cohesion policies, and transport policies that emerged in the 1990s (Peters, 2003). Recent evidence shows that EU policies have most likely contributed to improvements in accessibility in particular in lagging regions (Ferrara et al, 2016).…”

Lack of cross-border transport supply has repeatedly been blamed for the fact that national borders limit spatial interaction and, consequently, the growth of border regions. This study applies an accessibility approach to investigate for most municipalities in ten countries in mainland West Europe if foreign transport supply is lagging behind, and if population growth in these municipalities has been affected by the limits that national borders have imposed on market access. To do so, data describing historical population changes and road networks between 1961 and 2011 have been used. The results show that in the study area, cross-border transport accessibility was not at a disadvantage in 1961 and has since then grown even more than domestic accessibility. However, municipal population growth has depended almost exclusively on domestic market access. Processes of economic international integration in the study area are found to coincide with the growth of cross-border accessibility, but do not have a clear coincidence with the effects of cross-border accessibility on population growth.

“…In transport literature it is often also found variously termed as "justice", "fairness" or "cohesion" (Brocker et al, 2010;Lopez et al, 2008;Peters, 2003). Equity assessment is frequently carried out using spatial impact models, and subsequently included as a complementary analysis to other appraisal methods such as costbenefit analysis (CBA) or multicriteria analysis (MCA) (Lopez & Monzon, 2010).…”

“…These equity considerations, related with concepts such as cohesion, polycentricity and peripherality, are gaining ground in European transport and regional policy documents (Brocker et al, 2010;EC, 1999;Peters, 2003;Vickerman, Spiekermann, & Wegener, 1999). It is therefore increasingly being claimed that the design of a HSR network may need to be modified to ensure that both an acceptable degree of equity is retained, while maximizing economic growth (Brocker et al, 2010;Button, 1993;Lopez & Monzon, 2010).…”

“…One of the key projects of ESPON is devoted to indicators relating to urban areas as nodes in polycentric development, the latter a key-policy as no other in the ESDP. (Kratke, 2001;Copus, 2001;Waterhout, 2002;Peters, 2003;Davoudi, 2003).…”

The open method of co‐ordination and ‘post‐regulatory’ territorial cohesion policy

The Open Method of Co-ordination (OMC) is being promoted as an alternative in policy areas where the Community method does not apply, such as in employment, social security and pensions. The paper discusses the origins of OMC and the thinking behind it. Then it explores OMC features of the process of making the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP). The work of the European Spatial Planning Observation Network (ESPON) on indicators facilitates OMC being invoked. Indicators need to be supplemented with mutual exchanges about national and European planning and also by joint work on transnational andEuropean spatial visions. Assuming that, as proposed in Art. 3 of the European Constitution, territorial cohesion will become an accepted goal of the Union, on a par with economic and social cohesion, the paper ends with a scenario of the application of OMC in formulating European Union Territorial Cohesion Strategy.
