The Interactive Research Dashboard “Just Territorial Resilience” is now online. The dashboard was developed from the research article Just Territorial Resilience: Disentangling EU Policy Narratives between Geopolitical Stability and Spatial Justice, published in the European Journal of Spatial Development.

Developed within the research activities of the Responsible Risk Resilience Centre – R3C at Politecnico di Torino, the dashboard provides an interactive visualisation of the article’s main results. The research analyses how the concept of resilience is framed across key strategic policy documents of the European Union.

Through an interactive policy timeline, descriptive policy cards and a comparative matrix, the dashboard allows users to explore how resilience has progressively entered EU policymaking: from geopolitical security and institutional stability to climate transition, economic recovery, strategic foresight, territorial cohesion and spatial justice.

The dashboard highlights the fragmented nature of EU resilience narratives. Some dimensions, particularly economic/financial and green/climate resilience, emerge more strongly across EU policy documents, while territorial, place-based and justice-oriented dimensions remain less represented. Building on this analysis, the research proposes the concept of Just Territorial Resilience as an approach that connects differentiated territorial vulnerabilities, redistribution, participation and spatial justice.

The dashboard is intended to support scientific dissemination, teaching activities and dialogue with policymakers, researchers and territorial stakeholders interested in the relationship between resilience, EU policies and spatial planning.
