This document discusses the reform of EU Cohesion Policy and the need for spatial indicators to monitor progress. It outlines the goals of the Europe 2020 strategy and Territorial Agenda 2020, including promoting polycentric development and integrated cross-border cooperation. The ESPON KITCASP project aims to identify a core set of indicators for territorial cohesion, competitiveness, and sustainable development to inform national spatial strategies. Effective use of indicators requires drawing on existing ESPON research and regularly updating data to maximize funding opportunities for regions under the reformed Cohesion Policy framework.
