1.0 INTRODUCTION
In its first report to the CREST Committee (predecessor of CREST), the Scientific and Technical Research Committee) on 8 February 1972 (DOC Hl/368/72), the Planning Group on Town Planning and Housing Structures pointed to the need for increased scientific research, studies and pilot projects concerning town and country planning in the European Community* At its meeting on 16 June 1976 the PREST committee decided to ask the group to study in greater detail one of the topics to which it had given first priority, i.e. the growth of large urban concentrations.
In its second report (PREST/l97/73), the Planning Group examined the trends in urbanisation in the Member States and the research in progress on tnAC subject in the Member States and in some international organisations. It concluded that the growth of large concentrations was a suitable subject for study at Community level. It therefore proposed that the first stage in a Community research programme should take the form of a series of preliminary studies or an exploratory programme, to last not more than two years. At the end of the first stage it would be possible to define precisely the content of, and implementing procedure for, a further more extensive stage.
The Planning Group defined the exploratory research programme as "a comparative analysis of the causes, dynamics and consequences of the development of large urban concentrations within and across the boundaries of the Member States of the Community". Three lines of Study should be accorded priority: identification of the motive forces behind urbanisation and concentration! analysis of the dynamics of the concentration processes or urban decay and shifts of population and activities between towns! highlighting of consequences - both the consequences of the free play of the factors at work and the consequences of deliberate action. The Planning Group suggested that the exploratory programme be implemented in a 'concerted action'.
The programme has been prepared with the assistance of a working group set up by CREST at its meeting on 27-28 March 1974, to advise on the content and organisation of the programme. The Working Group met fourteen times and representatives of all Member States participated in its meetings.
Member States were invited to propose research projects for inclusion in the programme. The following Member States responded to this invitation: Belgium, Denmark, Federal Republic of Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, United Kingdom. The research projects described in Annex A to this memorandum are those which the Commission, on the advice of the working group, puts forward for inclusion in the Community programme.
In the action programme on the environment adopted "by the Council on 17 May 1977 it is provided in Title III, Chapter 1, Section 3, that a proposal for a Community Urban Research programme, to be implemented as a 'concerted action', should be submitted to the• Council. The Commission forwards herewith its proposal for such a programme.
2.0 COMMHESITS 0hT THE PROPOSAL FOR A COUNCIL DECISION
The Decision proposes the implementation of a research programme on the growth of large urban concentrations, in the form of a concerted action, the object being the coordination at Community level of research projects rela/ted to the theme of the programme, which are financed and executed in Member States*
'The Commission will be responsible for coordination of the research activities included in the programme. Provision is made for the establishment of a Concerted Action Committee to assist and advise the Commission in this task. The terms of reference and composition of the Committee are contained in Annex 2 to the Decision.
The financial contribution of the Community for the purposes of the programme is evaluated at 200,000 SJA. This sum will be expended in coordinating the research activities included in the programme.
Article 6 of the Draft Decision provides for the participation of European States, not members of the Community, which participate in European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical research (COST).
On or before the conclusion of the proposed 2-year programme, the Commission will review the results obtained with a view to putting forward proposal^. for the content and organisation of a further and more extensive programme.

DESCRIPTION OP THE RESEARCH PROJECTS
BELGIUM
B1 Title: Typology of Residential Environments;
Research Institution: Interfaculty Institute for Urban and Regional Planning, Catholic University of Louvain.
Status: The first phase began in March 1974 and ended in August 1976. Phase 2 began on 1 January 1977 and is in progress.
Subject: The aim of the research is to arrive at a comprehensive
terminology for survey and planning of hierarchy of residential environments based on different types of human activities which are carried out in the residential environment. The environment is defined by physical indicators and by means of enquiries among the population concerning their personal experience. A description will be given of the size, equipment, accessibility, organisation and appearance of the dwellings and their immediate and further surroundings Inhabited by 200 families in the North East of Belgium. Elements both of family situation and environmental situation are taken into account to define types of residential environments.
It is intended in the second phase to extend the research to the whole Flemish area of the country, to test the theory in practice, to extend it to the planning phase, to assure a feedback and to develop a participatory model.
B2 Title: Costs of Urban Growth
Research Institution: Mens en Ruimte, Brussels ... .
Status: The study began in 1974 and. is in progress.
Subject: The multi-national project on the Costs of Urban Growth was set up in 1972 by the International Social Science Council at the European Coordination Centre for Research and Documentation in Social Sciences in Vienna. Mens en Ruimte is the Belgian participant. "
The objective of the study is to identify, measure and explain the costs associated with increments of urban grovrth within t and between countries. To undertake this dynamic analysis it is necessary to identify, measure and explain the cost structure associated with urban areas of different sizes at various points in time.
Costs are related to services. Therefore, attention is paid to the comparison of certain cost elements with the quality and quantity of the resulting output. .
./
The empirical research approach is twofold: on the national level the cost structures of local authorities according' to six categories are analysed * A further detailed analysis with time series over a 20-year period is applied to Mechelen. The detailed analysis will he compared with similar cases in other coumtries. ■
DENMARK
DK1 Title: Trends in the Location of Metropolitan Activities in Denmark and Motives for Changes of Location* .
Research Institutions: Danish Building Research Institute and project group directed "by E.H. Matthiesen.
Status: The study, which is financed'by the research institutions, began in March 1976 and is in progress. ■ ■ .
Subject: The study is concerned with developments in the location of manufacturing firms, wholesale trades and industrially-oriented service trades in Denmark during 1961-1976, ,
The investigation is based on a sample survey of 2000 firms. Among these firms, some are studied in depth in order to analyse motivations for decisions to move away from the Copenhagen region.
FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY
D1 Title: An Attempt to Explain the Consequences of Intra-Regional Migration for the Development of Urban Concentrations.
Research Institution: GEVIOS E*V., Hamburg .
Status: The project, which is funded by the Federal Government, began in August 1976 and is in progress.
Subject: The project aims to explain the consequences for employment, services, etc. of migration within densely-populated areas and their surrounding areas. It also aims, to analyse the motives underlying decisions to migrate, related to the migration distance, and the consequences of moving for the migrant and his/her family.
D2 Title: Structural Changes in Densely Populated Areas Research Institution: PROGNOS, Basel
Status: The project, which is funded by the Federal Government, began in 1976 and is in progress. ■ ' • • •
Subject: In order to examine structural changes in densely-populated areas in the past and in the future, a study is being conducted in three phases: ‘
Phase 1 - Analysis of structural changes in two selected densely-populated areas in the Federal Republic;
./. * •
Phase 2 - Design of scenarios of demographic and emp-Loymeht uwvexop-ments in densely-populated areas;
Phase 3 - Development of methodological and conceptual aspects.
FRADCE
PI Title: Industrialisation, Social Change and Spatial Organisation
Research Institution: B3TURE, St Quentin en Yveline . .
Status: The project, which is funded Dy the Government, began in 1976 and is in progress.
Subject: The main aim of the research is to see how now industrialisation alters +be social and spatial functioning of two regions which _'iii. ^..avauied, one in which there is a tradition of rural industry afta'ih which new industrialisation stimulated from outside is now developing, the other a non-industrial region which is now experiencing rapid industrialisation. "
F2 Title: Description of an Urbanised Region - the Rhine-Main Region.
Research Institution: Prospective et Amenagement, Mont rouge..
Status: The project, which is financed by the Government, began in 1976 and is in progress. :
Subject: The research sets out to understand both how the general processes of social and technical organisation of space operate in a.developed region, in the present stage of capitalism, and how in turn the resulting spatial organisation reinforces certain processes which created it. The research will focus on the Rhine-Main Region and will follow three main lines of inquiry: changes in the economic structure, changes.in the way society perpetuates and continues itself, dominant social groups and socio-political forms of control.
F3 Title: Perpetuation of Society in Regions of Linked Towns
Status: The project, which is financed by the Government, began in 1976 and is in progress.
Subject: In order to perpetuate and continue itself, a society must assure the conditions for its-own survival. These include not only the production of goods and services but also a political framework which provides for the resolution of social conflicts, and the requisite social facilities and public services. These conditions and requirements will be studied in regions containing a number of towns with significant linkages between them.

F4 Title: Public Investments and the. Large Urbanised Region
Research Institution: U.E.R. Urbanisation - Amenagement, Univorsite . de Grenoble II
Status: The project, which is financed by the Government, began in 197^~and is in progress*
Subject: The effects of public investment on the urbanised region ' will be studied, taking account of the relationships between the state and the private sector, on the one hand, and between the local and the external economies, on the other hand. The researchers wish to verify the hypothesis (based on their earlier work) that urban policy, i'e. the control over urban space exercised by the investment policies of the public authorities, determines the emergence of inter-urban systems. \

u'l ‘Title: The Desired Spacing of Centres for Sendee Industries
Research Institution: Institute of Geography and Planning, University of Amsterdam.
Status: The project, which is financed by the Government, is in progress. .
Subject: This research project aims at reducing the uncertainty regarding the question whether and in how far a hierarchically-structured pattern of retail and service centres should be preferred, as a planning concept, to a more dispersed pattern of allocation for the different constituent elements of these centres.
./
Status; The project, which is financed by the Government, is in progress *
Subject: The questions to he answered are; What kind of relationship exists between the behaviour of consumers in newly-built city districts and the hierarchically-planned system of shopping centres? Does the hierarchy-as-used by the consumers agree with the hierarchy-as-meant by the planners? The research examines these questions in case studies of four Dutch cities.
