The eastern enlargement of the European
Union is having a decisive influence on the framework conditions
for the development of border regions. The expected increase in
cross-border exchanges and the resultant divergence in regional
development trends give rise to a range of questions to which the
affected municipalities will only be only to react jointly.
Against this background, model proposals are developed within the
framework of the research project of the German Federal Ministry
of Transport, Building and Housing (BMVBW) "The development of
integrated transboundary transport systems - the example of
Görlitz / Zgorzelec and Frankfurt (Oder) / Slubice" in the
Urban
Traffic and Transport Research Programme (FoPS) as well as
general recommendations for sustainable, demand-oriented
adaptations of transboundary traffic and transport systems.
In this context, scenarios are discussed for future urban
development and models are proposed for the prediction of typical
transboundary traffic patterns. Approaches are analysed which can
optimise traffic supplies and increase efficiency, and which also
make a contribution to the reduction of traffic levels and the
sustainable development of transboundary urban development and
traffic and transport development. In addition, proposals are
developed for planning and financing instruments as well as forms
of cooperation. We also accompany the cooperation and research
process with active participation in networks such as the
Forum for Border Towns, and we
present papers at international conferences.
