Urban Sprawl of Major Cities in South West Europe (EURMET)
Start date: Sep 30, 2002, End date: Dec 30, 2005 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The Eurmet (Expansion Urbaine des Métropoles du Sud-ouest Européen - Urban Sprawl of Major Cities in South West Europe) project aims at characterizing the outskirts of ten major cities located in three countries of South West Europe: Barcelona, Madrid, Sevilla and Valencia in Spain ; Bordeaux, Clermont-Ferrand, Montpellier and Toulouse in France ; Lisbon and Porto in Portugal. Besides the definition of the physical limits of these cities, the project focuses on the identification of the content of their peripheral areas and the type of spatial organization of the latter. In order to reach this objective, it relies on the analysis of high resolution satellite imagery. The Eurmet project is funded by the European Commission initiative Interreg III B for South West Europe and involves Spanish, French and Portuguese partners.
