The purpose of the Scan-Med Observatory under the MOVE21 project is to bring cities and local authorities to be more involved in the TEN-T implementation process.
Transport corridors do not just cross countries, borders, industrial areas, ports, airports, but also connect a large amount of medium and large cities and agglomerations.
More efforts to streamline efforts to make sure that interfaces between TEN-T network and access to large metropolitan areas are both taken into consideration are needed. Last-mile connections, urban consolidation centres, multimodal hubs, are there to make sure that a fully integrated travel chain for both passenger and freight is established. For this reason, the Scan-Med Observatory aims to act as a bridge to overall TEN-T implementation and the local level. Cities and local authorities located along a defined corridor have an opportunity to raise their needs and highlight their points of view.
This technical workshop promoted by the MOVE21 project follows the launch of the Scan-Med Observatory, that took place on 12 October as a high-level session at the European Week of Regions and Cities (EWRC) 2022. More than 65 people attended and hear speeches from Pat Cox - EU Coordinator of the TEN-T Scandinavian Mediterranean corridor, Isabelle Vandoorne (DG MOVE), Sirin Stav (City of Oslo), Georg Dunkel (City of Munich) and video testimonials from cities of Hamburg and Gothenburg.
Its main objective is to gather interested stakeholders – especially from cities and local authorities – to bring momentum and gather inputs and feedback from local level about how to close the gab between TEN-T network and urban nodes. These inputs will be taken into account in view of the definition of the Framework Plan and future activities of the Scan-Med Observatory.
