#EUSALPinMAPS #3: population change Today in #EUSALPinMaps, we have a closer look at the population changes in the municipalities of the EUSALP territory. Over the last years, the overall population of the Alps increased from 5% with some distinct trends between the municipalities.   The map shows the population change (in %) over the years 2017 to 2023. It depicts that…   ▪️  Municipalities in the north of the EUSALP area tend to grow, while those in the south are more likely to lose population. ▪️  A closer look shows more differentiated trends: many urban and suburban regions 🏢 are growing throughout the Alps, whereas more rural / remote regions 🏡 are challenged by a decreasing population. ▪️  An even further detailed look reveals that growing and shrinking municipalities are located next to each other. Even if there is an overall trend, the concrete population development of one municipality is often depending on very local circumstances.   What do you think the population of the Alps will look like in the next 10 years?   Here are some current projects relevant to the EUSALP space: AlpJobs https://lnkd.in/dXuqsFVC and PlurAlps https://lnkd.in/djUpe7uB   #EUSALPinMaps #EUSALP #alpine #cooperation #population #macroregion #EUSALPCOPRESIDENCY Interreg Alpine Space Alpine Convention European Commission

Circular Construction in Practice: Insights from #SALZ21 Home of Innovation Panel 🏡 💡 As part of the #EUSALP2025EUSALP2025EUSALP2025 Co-Presidency of Austria and Liechtenstein and supported by ARGE ALP, an inspiring panel at salz21 explored the future of circular construction and renovation. Led by circular economy specialist Sonja Eser, experts discussed how different regions are tackling resource scarcity, climate change, and economic challenges to move from theory to real-world application. 🔑💡👉 Key Takeaways: ⛰️ In Liechtenstein, circular construction is gaining momentum, supported by platforms like Zirkulie. ⛰️ In South Tyrol, legal and economic barriers slow down recycling efforts, though strategies are emerging. ⛰️ In Austria, pilot projects showcase innovative solutions, but outdated regulations still hinder progress. Future-proof buildings must be adaptable, durable, and designed with sustainability in mind. Collaboration as supported by EUSALP across policy, finance, and industry is key to scaling circular building models. The discussion highlighted investment opportunities and the role of public procurement in driving change.

#EUSALPinMaps #1 : Map 1+2, Population density The Austrian-Liechtenstein EUSALP Presidency ⛰️ proudly presents the new format of #EUSALPinMaps. The aim is to present important developments in the Alps region in the perimeter with which EUSALP is dealing with. Today we present two maps to understand the distribution of people in the Alps. The map population density shows the population density of the NUTS-3, https://lnkd.in/d932gV2T, regions in the EUSALP territory, while the map proportional population density emphasises the most populated regions in a proportional way. This combination highlights some important phenomena that affect the Alpine region: ➡️ In principle, there is an imbalance between rather less densely populated regions in central alpine regions and densely populated areas to the north and south of the Alps. ➡️This can lead to pressure on the inner Alpine region, e.g. distribution of resources for the leisure industry 🏂, tourism 🚠 or energy production. 💡 ➡️Furthermore, this uneven distribution may increase transalpine transport. 🚚 The centre of the Alps leaves less land available for cultivation, settlement and transport in the centre of the Alps thus exacerbating the situation. Here are just a few topically relevant projects for the EUSALP space: #LUIGI https://lnkd.in/dWvVfhix  #GoingLocal https://lnkd.in/dfFESpCu Which other projects dealing with such population development challenges do you know of?   #EUSALPinMaps #EUSALP #alpine #cooperation #population #demographic #youthcouncil #pillar1 #Actiongroup2 #Actiongroup3 #Actiongroup4 #DiscoverJob #transport
