Neue Dissertation: The Dynamic Geographies of the Knowledge Economy in Germany: Where do firms & workers locate?

This dissertation examines the German knowledge economy over two decades and explores where firms and knowledge workers locate. It examines the spatial, relational and economic location decisions through three studies on firm location choices, the influence of the knowledge economy on employment growth and the (re-)location of workers. Using ERGM, Granger causality and origin-destination data analysis, it reveals how proximity, the type of knowledge, infrastructure and connectivity influence where firms and workers locate, thus, regional growth.

Project Documentation: "Landsberg am Lech - Ready for 2055?"

Students from the Master's programs in Urbanism and Architecture worked for several months to look at the long-term development of the town of Landsberg. The aim was to design a long-term spatial strategy. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the region and a methodology for working with future trends, the next 30 years were examined. Four student teams each present a vision of the future for “Landsberg 2055” and use an overall strategy and specific spatial proposals to show possible development paths for the region and local stakeholders.

 

The four student teams focus on different topics and show different development paths for the year 2055. How can resilient land use, inclusive mobility and social cohesion be strengthened and interlinked to achieve sustainable growth? How can the prospects of young residents be improved and education and innovation become key catalysts for positive development? How can Landsberg become a municipality that leads by example through the consistent implementation of sustainable mobility, a liveable city center and a self-sufficient energy supply? And how can Landsberg carry today's qualities into the future in order to be “just as great, only better” in 2055?

Topic: The project develops two scenarios on the future of the Principality of Liechtenstein in 2068.

Brief description: The spatial-functional consideration of Liechtenstein's position on the different scale levels of the Alpine Rhine Valley, adjacent conurbations in D and CH and in the international location competition is combined with the consideration of spatial-morphological and atmospheric qualities. At the center of the consideration are the development opportunities of the small State of Liechtenstein with its towns and subregions. The results of the analysis are presented primarily with the aid of illustrations, maps, and diagrams. The scenarios are presented in large-format images with regard to their urban development and landscape consequences and characteristics.
