Report on current mobility flows and existing regional attractiveness measures in the EU

A report mapping the current setting of mobility flows both at NUTS3 and NUTS2 level for each mobility form. It will also examine mobility flows both within a country and between countries using the MOBI-TWIN database. The report will examine temporal trends of mobility flows by mobility form since 2010, and address socio-economic and geographical differences (e.g. age, gender, education) in mobility flows. At a second step, D2.1 will provide a thorough investigation regarding the existing definitions of regional attractiveness and compare existing definitions of regional attractiveness, which may cause the rise of the left-behind areas. It will also review the existing typologies for EU regions (e.g. urban/rural areas, metro regions, border regions, mountain/island regions, left-behind/scarcely populated areas), and explore the ways in which twin transition can help them overcome potential barriers related to accessibility and resilience that keep them from being attractive to existing or potential residents.
