Abstract: Abstract The Joint Research Centre of the European Commission has implemented the LUISA Territorial Modelling Platform for ex ante evaluation of European policies, measures and initiatives that might have a direct or indirect territorial impact. LUISA is based on the concept of ‘land function’ for cross-sector integration and for the representation of complex system dynamics. Beyond a traditional land use model, LUISA adopts a new approach towards activity-based modelling based upon the endogenous dynamic allocation of population, services and activities. The LUISA Platform consists of set of connected modules. A regional module is employed to regionalise (downscale) exogenous socio-economic projections and produce scenarios of regional development according to defined options of growth. An advanced module for the local distribution and allocation of Land Functions is based upon the dynamic interaction between population distribution, accessibility potential and the utility-based allocation of services. Feedbacks and spillover effects are included within and between the local and regional modules. LUISA outputs are represented in terms of ‘territorial indicators’ covering a wide range of themes, from economy to demography, to accessibility and transport to resource efficiency. The territorial indicators are routinely updated and distributed by online tool Urban Data Platform Plus of the Knowledge Centre for Territorial Policies.
