Scenarios …assumes that the hitherto dominant trends will be carried forward. Development paths are mainly based on national, domestic politics that lead to complex spatial patterns. The overall positive trend in economic development continues.However, this comes along with only limited success in achieving sustainable development and strategic spatial development.

Towards a common vision

Vienna workshop16 4/5/2019

The Vision

▪ Draft document as basis for

political concretisation

▪ Aiming at a common space

at transnational scale,

comprising inter-relations of

both mountain and lowland

spaces.

▪ Challenges of balanced

territorial development:

based on sustainable

development, quality of life

and transformative

governance.

▪ Based on three influencing

layers – settlement system,

linkages and territories

Building on particular strengths of

territories and institutions

Alps 205018

Focus of the Big 3 … and by NGOs, local and regional actors:

Alpine Convention –

Alpine Space Programme –

Macro-Regional Strategy EUSALP

▪ “To achieve a sustainable Alpine development, it is important to build on

the particular expertise and strengths of each of the big three institutions”

(European USP).

▪ Most important potentials of each institution

▪ Most relevant priorities

▪ Challenges – lack of competences – divergence – spatial differentiation –

interlinkages – spatial scales and policy trade-offs.

▪ Contribution to policy goals (of sustainable development / territorial

balance) by respective perspective.
