Liverpool City Region Active Travel Maps
Liverpool City Region Combined Authority
The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) is looking to create a new active travel map (walking, wheeling and cycling), primarily concentrating on cycle routes and facilities across the city region. The supplier will work with the LCRCA and the six constituent authorities (Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral) to develop a map that is both clear and easy to use. The result of the contract will be six maps (1 for each local authority area) of active travel facilities such as segregated cycle lanes, off road cycle networks and on road quiet routes. The mapping data that is created by the successful supplier will be owned solely by the LCRCA. This is so that when new routes and facilities are built, the maps can be easily updated by the internal personnel using a standard specification. The maps will need to include key destinations, safety information, key landmarks, bike shops, repair stations, and links to public transport hubs. These will be...

ESPON ARISE - Adaptive Resilience and Inclusive Strategies for Europe’s Structurally Declining Territories
ESPON EGTC
The project will develop a coherent framework for understanding how territorial cohesion and resilience operate under conditions of persistent low growth, demographic contraction and structural decline. Based on European-wide territorial mapping, it will elaborate typologies of territories facing persistent low growth and demographic contraction, and produce territorial maps of vulnerability, adaptive capacity and resilience. Through comparative qualitative case studies across different territorial contexts, it will document adaptive territorial practices and governance innovations. Finally, the project will offer practical policy guidance suggesting how cohesion policy, territorial governance and resilience planning frameworks may need to evolve in response to persistent low growth and structural territorial contraction.
