Historical (observations) data and projections (modelled) of total population per metro region. Historical regional data were extracted from EUROSTAT's online database and missing data were calculated in order to complete the historical series. Projection data were calculated assuming a trend scenario where past regional growth rates converge linearly to national growth rates in 2035, and from 2035 onwards, each sector grows at the same pace in all regions within each country. Projections were finally rescaled in order to respect country totals from the reference EUROSTAT projections.

The Urban Data Platform is a joint initiative of the Directorate General Joint Research Centre (DG JRC) and the Directorate General for Regional and Urban Policy (DG REGIO) of the European Commission. It provides an access point to exchange information on the status and trends of European cities and regions.It visualizes data via maps at three different geographical units including EU-wide Cities/Greater Cities, Functional Urban Areas and Metropolitan Regions. It also includes time series graphs for selected cities, for Metropolitan Regions, and by degree of urbanisation.
The LUISA Territorial Modelling Platform is primarily used for the ex-ante evaluation of EC policies that have a direct or indirect territorial impact

Territorial cohesion or territorial disparities
Two alternative scenarios for regional growth.
Demographic and economic projections are essential tools in many domains of policy making. They allow policymakers anticipating future trends and explore alternative scenarios, and provide the basis to assess impacts of policies. This report regionalizes recently published EU reference demographic and economic projections from country to NUTS3 level. Two alternative scenarios have been used to carry out the regionalization: ‘trend’ and ‘convergence’. In the trend scenario recent observed growth rates continue, whereas in the convergence scenario less developed regions grow faster than more developed ones. While the trend scenario accentuates current territorial disparities generating more concentration of production and population, the convergence scenario promotes a more balanced growth and therefore more territorial cohesion.
