1 +-METREX Monitoring of the Lisbon Indicators in Metropolitan Regions Interim Report 2 IAURIF / DEDL / Dominique Lecomte 5 September

2 One year after its start at the meeting held in Szczezin on 27th September 2006, this second Interim Report is yet again an opportunity to present the progress made as part of the project referred to as «Monitoring of the Lisbon Indicators in Metropolitan Regions». The following report falls into 4 parts: A Background B Inventory of the indicators and the maps C Positioning of the administrative regions for the 22 selected Lisbon indicators D Further information required A BACKGROUND A.1 Partners involved in the project Twelve metropolitan regions and areas members of METREX have contributed to the project : Athens, Helsinki, Lisbon, Madrid, Oradea, Paris, Porto, Rhein-Neckar, Rome, Stuttgart and Valencia, and these areas were recently joined by Randstad Holland and Barcelona. London expressed an interest in the project but has not, so far, submitted its contribution. A.2 The working group has pursued 2 objectives defined in Szczezin: 2.1 Delivering for each metropolitan region a certain number of Lisbon indicators (22) for the last 10 years (from 1995 to 2005) in relation to 2 geographical areas : the administrative region (in order to meet the requirements of the regional political decision makers) and the functional urban region (in order to ensure, as much as possible, the comparability between the values of the indicators). In order to carry out this project, the partners have committed themselves to collect the statistical data of available databases, to calculate, as much as this is possible, the greatest number of indicators and to define the geographical boundaries of their functional urban region. They must to submit the data, the indicators and the maps showing the geographical boundaries of their administrative region and of their functional urban region to IAURIF and to the other two members of the project steering Committee. 2.2 Organizing exchanges on economic policies implemented in the metropolitan regions A.3 The timeframe of the implementation Initially set to the end of 2006, the deadline for the collection of the basic statistical data and for the delivery of the indicators was postponed to the end of June 2007 on the occasion of the Vicenza Meeting. This was due to the difficulties that most members came across. No timescale was set up for the exchange on economic policies. A.4 An initial working meeting was held in Vicenza on 23 rd May This was attended by the partners from d Athens, Helsinki, Madrid, Paris, Porto, Rome. An initial interim report, drafted by IAURIF, was presented. This highlighted the following key points : - The data and indicators collected up until then were focused on administrative regions and less often of functional urban regions, with the exception of Rhein- Neckar, Stuttgart and Valencia. In that respect, Paris and Madrid constitute a specific case as the administrative regions of Ile-de-France and Madrid do not differ significantly from their functional urban region. For the majority of regions, many basic 2

3 data were missing and consequently many indicators could not be calculated (or could not be calculated for each year). - Poverty and environment related indicators, allowing for exceptions, could not be calculated by using European definitions. - In order to take into account the specificities of the metropolitan regions, the definition of labour productivity (as used at the European and national level) had to be amended (the number of people employed counted at the place of work must be used instead of the number of people employed accounted for in their place of residence in the productivity-related calculation. Finally, given the fact that the working group was mostly focused on the comparability of the data and the indicators, it was reminded that each partner had to define the geographical boundaries of its functional urban region in order to be in a position, at least, to measure the significance of the existing discrepancies between the functional urban region and the administrative region in so far as the total population and the total number of jobs of these 2 geographical areas are concerned. In other words, it is necessary to be able to assess whether or not the data and the indicators collected for the administrative region are biased in relation to the socio-economic reality of the metropolitan area. B An Inventory of the indicators and the maps available B.1 Information received since the Vicenza working meeting The following documents have been sent to IAURIF. In June: - New tables for the metropolitan area of Porto - New tables, very partially completed, and related maps for the metropolitan area of Oradea - Study on the functional urban region of Madrid, carried out in 2005 according to various methods. Findings : there is a small difference between the Comunidad de Madrid and the Madrid FUR in terms of its overall population and its total number of jobs. - Tables of data for Barcelona but without any tables featuring the indicators In July and August: - New amended tables and fuller tables for the province of Rome - New data tables for Athens but without any indicators tables - Data tables and indicators for the functional urban region of the Randstad B.2 Indicators The following table presents an inventory of the number of administrative regions for which the value of the 22 selected indicators for the project has been calculated, and so according to several periods. There are 11 administrative regions in total for which indicators have been calculated. Therefore, the ideal would be to only keep the figure 11 throughout the table. As we can see, we are quite far from being in such a position. This observation pointing to the fact that for many large metropolitan administrative regions, notably for that NUTS2 and NUTS3 level, the value of a significant number of Lisbon indicators can not be calculated should be useful in the exchange between METREX and the European leading organizations (DG 16, Eurostat, ESPON, Urban Audit). The 1999 to 2004 or 2005 period is that for which the greatest number of values of indicators is available. 3

4 The indicators for which the values are rarely available are as follows: - Gross domestic expenditure on R & D as a % of GDP - Business investment (Gross fixed capital formation in the private sector as a % og GDP) - At risk of poverty rate after social transferts - Greenhouse gases emissions - Energy intensity of the economy - Freight transport volume Table 1 Availability of indicators for 11 administrative regions 1995 to to to to 2004 or 2005 or 2005 or 2005 or 2005 Population growth Per capita GDP Real GDP growth Labour productivity Employment growth Employment rate total women men older workers women men Unemployment rate total men women Long term unemployment. Education definition problem R & D Business investment Poverty rate Greenhouse gases emissions Energy intensity of the economy Freight transport volume The partners of Athens and Barcelona have not sent the tables including the values of indicators but just the tables containing the basic statistical data available. The basic statistical data and the values of indicators have been received for 4 functional urban regions i.e. Rhein-Neckar, Stuttgart, Valencia and Randstad. As previously stated, the values of indicators for Paris and Madrid can be used for the functional urban regions of both regions without getting any significantly biased values. 4

5 For these 6 functional urban regions, we have the most comparable indicators values. (Comparable from a double point of view i.e. spatial and statistical). However, it has not been possible to calculate a significant number of indicators.

Up to today, only Madrid and Stuttgart have submitted digitalized maps. 6

7 C Positioning of the administrative regions for the 22 Lisbon indicators For the 11 regions for which the indicators have been submitted, tables and charts have been prepared for the administrative regions. Let it be noted that Randstad has been included in these documents although it is not an administrative region. C 1 The tables and charts of this report When available, the tables provide for each region the values of the 22 indicators for the years ranging from 1995 to The average values of the EU25 have also been included in the tables for 1995, 2004 and 2005 in order to be able to position the regions in relation to the one and only reference. Talking about metropolitan regions, the average of the results obtained by a great number of metropolitan regions and areas would be a better reference than the EU 25 1 average. A chart presenting the values of indicators has been carried out on a per region basis. For each region, the 1995 and 2005 values of the 22 indicators have been compared to the EU25 values of 1995 and We have proceeded in such a way to illustrate the domains for which the results achieved for a given region are higher or lower than the European average on these two dates. The comparison of the positioning of the region on these two dates gives some information on the dynamics developing over the last 10 years. This information is no doubt the most useful one. Clarifications as to the reading of the charts The average values of the EU25 have been represented by the EU=100 vertical line The regional values presented in the chart have been calculated according to the following method: Value of the chart = regional value / EU25*100 value Where available for an indicator of the values of 1995 and 2005 (or 2004 by default), the chart presents the regional positioning on these two dates. Where only one value is available, or where no value is available, only one bar or no bar shows on the chart. The three following indicators: population growth, real GDP growth, total employment growth stand for the 1995=100 basis. For this reason, the regional value for 1995 is not included in the chart (it would be equal to 100, which would not make any sense). Example of a reading The chart for Paris highlights the following points in relation to the average European values: Over the period: - The regional growth of the population, of the GDP, of the number of jobs was approximately the same as that observed for the EU25. - The GDP per capita and the labour productivity are high but these ratios experience a slight weakening 1 Which would be possible by involving all the metropolitan areas members of METREX 7

8 - The total employment rate 2, 64.2 %, is close to the European average but the European target of 70.0 % by 2010 seems very high for it to be achieved in the region. The relatively high employment rate amongst women makes up for that of men, which is relatively low. The employment rate of people aged between 55 and 64 (46.0) is quite high, still as a consequence of women at work. It has experienced a strong growth since 1999 (36.9 %). The objective of 50 % by 2010, included in the National Reform Agenda seems achievable for the region. - The region is clearly below the performance level of that of the EU25 as far as the reduction in unemployment rate is concerned (for each indicator ; total rate, men, women and long term) - The R&D investments are quite high (3.2 % of the GDP in 2003) however, we can notice a relative slow-down at the European scale. 2 Population of people in employment aged 15 to 64 / total population of people aged 15 to 64) 8
