GMES The road ahead IMPLEMENTATION PHASE

• GUS project ends in 2004-Q4. Whats next?
• 3 projects related to Land Use / Land Cover are
  merging for implementation SAGE GUS
  CoastWatch GSE-LAND

  selection of those services in the portfolio best
  fitted today for operations and make final

Relationship GMES - ESPON

• Approach fostered by DG-Regio
• We are more than a producer of geoinformation
• We aim to set the standards for the next
  generation of large LU/LC mapping in Europe
• ESPON (and follow up?) can exploit GMES products
• Participate actively in the product definition
  through user groups

9
Defining the Urban Areas to be mapped in 2005-08

• We need to specify which cities/regions to map in
  the next project GSE-LAND
• Guess number on service volume 50 cities
  regions TBD
• Future sites User involvement is needed (city or
  regional authority)
• Choosing from
• Eurocities (130) / Enviromental Committee (30)
• Urban Audit 2 (250)
• DG-Env (top 500 urban areas greater than 100,000
  inhab.)
• ESPON?

10
Urban Areas to be mapped in 2005-08

• ESPON can make recommendations on the areas to be
  mapped by GMES
• ESPON can become an active user and provide an
  assessment of products
