ESPON Database Portal

The ESPON Database Portal serves as a comprehensive resource for data, indicators, and tools crucial for European territorial development and cohesion policy. It caters to a diverse user base, including researchers, policy makers, and stakeholders at regional and local levels, enabling them to formulate, apply, and monitor policies across different geographical scales.

The data available on this site originates primarily from prominent European institutions such as EUROSTAT and EEA, alongside contributions from all ESPON projects. This compilation significantly enhances the understanding of territorial structures, current situations, and both past and future trends across various European territories. The portal covers a wide array of themes and geographical contexts, ranging from local to global perspectives.

Key statistics highlight the portal's extensive offerings, including 626 single indicators, such as the spatial distribution of Green Infrastructure, and 16 multi-indicators, like employment data in enterprises, which comprise 707 individual classes. Additionally, the platform provides access to data from 60 distinct projects, further enriching its utility for territorial analysis and policy support.
