This is the final report from the Distressed Town Centre Property Taskforce, a cross-sector industry grouping. For the first time, it identifies the major property-related barriers to the vitality and performance of town and city centres. One of the main recommendations is that the government should designate town and city centres as key national infrastructure in order to open up new funding opportunities. Other recommendations include bold and strategic land assembly and greater flexibility in the planning system.

The British Property Federation has launched a website to support the business-led route to neighbourhood planning. While community planning is usually associated with rural parish councils and particularly vocal residents’ groups in housing hotspots, there are several exaples of business-led neighbourhood plans, such as Milton Keynes and the Bankside area in central London. There are likely to be many more if the model is embraced by business improvement districts.  The BPF says its neighbourhood planning website provides a comprehensive resource for businesses keen to engage in the neighbourhood planning process and provides a range of business-led case studies for inspiration.

The climate change-sustainable development nexus: A proposal for convergence

This  thesis  is  founded  on  the  proposition  that  climate  change  and  sustainable development are inextricably linked with each other and form a “nexus” that should be understood in a pragmatic and holistic way.  Accordingly, the climate change “problem” cannot be adequately addressed in “silos” or by traditional output control techniques but instead should be viewed as a multidimensional challenge that calls for transformative change in the world energy sector in light of the wider contexts of sustainability and social equity.  This thesis observes that with the  emergence of a post-2015 development agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the United  Nations, the world is at or  is  fast  approaching  an  inflection  point  in  global  development.  While efforts  to improve the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) process are laudable, this thesis argues for a transformative approach to converge international collective action on climate change with the broader frameworks of global sustainable development  processes. This thesis makes a proposal for the convergence and integration of the UNFCCC and  sustainable development work streams, and suggests that China consider taking a leadership role under the broad aspirational goal of building “eco-civilization”.

In the scope of the TRS are research projects financed under the Sixth and Seventh Framework Programmes (FP6 and FP7), the ESPON programme and studies financed by the European Commission.

This publication provides an overview of EU-funded research and studies in the policy area of financing, pricing and taxation, looking at research projects financed under the Sixth and Seventh Framework Programmes (FP6 and FP7), and studies financed by DG MOVE. The publication looks at important challenges in the transport sector, such as financing transport infrastructure and innovative transport solutions, pricing measures, internalisation of external costs and smart ticketing.

Increasing the sustainability of air transport

Contributing to economic growth and development, and to integration and cohesion in Europe, sustainable air transport is a central part of EU transport policy and research. With ever increasing passenger movements and freight volumes, the challenge is to facilitate sustainable growth while reducing environmental impacts and maintaining high levels of safety and security in the air and on the ground.
