On behalf of the European Environment Agency the European Topic Centre on Land Use and Spatial Information (ETC-LUSI) conducts a survey among key stakeholders of urban development on the report and its results. We believe that you will find the content of the report extremely useful for your work, and that the report findings will facilitate your need of taking informed decisions. We invite you to make use of the results and to invest a few minutes to fill in the short questionnaire, whose results will be basic to define the next steps. See qustionnaire above.
