Previous research shows that technical progress at the industry level, measured by sectoral TFP growth, is more localized in continental European countries than in Anglo-Saxon countries. We use EU KLEMS data sets to decompose sectoral TFP for nine European countries by means of a Malmquist approach, in order to separate technical change. Applying Harberger diagrams, we describe the sectoral pat...

Spatial planning holds a key role in preventing or mitigating the impacts of climate change on both cities and rural areas, taking forward-thinking holistic approach to urban regional development. As such, spatial deals with challenges occurring at different scales across sectors. The international literature points out need for horizontal vertical cooperation tackle impacts. This paper discuss...

The regional water allocation planning is one of those complex decision problems where holistic approach to water supply management considering different criteria would be valuable. However, multi-criteria decision making with diverse indicators measured on different scales and uncertainty levels is difficult to solve. Objective of this paper is to develop scenarios for the future imbalances in...

SEA to date and Recent advances The 1990s have witnessed a substantial evolution in the methods and uses of SEA as a tool for the integration of environmental concerns and the promotion of sustainability within transport planning. A wealth of experience in sectoral and multi-sectoral (eg. regional development plans) SEA, both at regional, national and European levels can now provide us with a b...

Applying Johansen cointegration test to U.S. annual data constructed from the EU KLEMS database, the paper documents that the productivities of consumption-goods and equipmentgoods sector are cointegrated. It confirms further, using the non-linear cointegration test framework developed by Kapetanios et al. (2006), that the cointegrating relation is non-linear. The cointegration of sectoral prod...

Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) involves global and national policy measures as well as effective action at the landscape scale across productive sectors. Multilevel governance (MLG) characterizes policy processes and regimes of cross-scale and cross-sector participation by multiple public and private actors for improved legitimacy and effectiveness of polic...

Since the publication of the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP), a growing body of literature has emerged related to European spatial planning. Much of this literature is focused on the influence of the ESDP on city regions and urban policy in individual member states. Much less attention has been paid thus far to the influence of the ESDP on the formulation of spatial strategies a...

There is growing science and policy interest in multi-sectoral action, but bridging the gap between family planning urban development challenging. This paper analyses experience of integrating these sectors sub-Saharan Africa via building research capacity. Family-planning researchers were supported to link with urban-development actors, one goal being generate lessons on process getting their ...

Viewing urban areas as webs of complex, interwoven networks, this article aims to analyze the decision-making process and its outcomes in Tehran metropolitan region. To do so, first the theoretical basis of complexity in urban life and its implications for planning have been reviewed. Using the main notion of power of action i.e. agency, and through creating the network of actors and their rela...
