PoliRuralPlus
Fostering Sustainable, Balanced, Equitable, Place-based and Inclusive Development of Rural-Urban Communities' Using Specific Spatial Enhanced Attractivenes Mapping ToolBox
The EU-funded PoliRuralPlus project extends and enriches the achievements of its predecessor, PoliRural, by delving deeper into the complexities of rural and urban interconnectivity. The project deploys a sophisticated suite of digital tools, including AI, geographic information systems, IoT and advanced data analytics. Its core mission is to tackle prevalent issues such as administrative fragmentation, inequality and inefficiencies in public service coordination, fostering an environment of enhanced cooperation and equal opportunities across rural and urban divides. Central to PoliRuralPlus are nine pilot projects that serve as proving grounds for an EU-wide integrated approach to territorial planning and action foresight. The project ambitiously expands its scope to include the urban dimension, thus embracing a broader perspective on development.
