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?

2015-2017 Spatial development strategy for the County of Fürstenfeldbruck

Forschung, PAGE:TUMvCard | 04.12.2015


Topic: The spatial development strategy, which is located at the scale between the land use plan and the regional plan, is intended to be an informal and inter-municipal planning instrument that acts as a guideline for action for settlement development (especially living and working), for open space development and for the development of mobility in the future and forms a basis for municipal planning. The aim is to create a future-oriented spatial concept supported by all municipalities, whose strategy and project proposals will extend beyond the processing time of this project.

For the sub-strategy, economy, the challenge is above all to show the superordinate functional integration and the spatial-structural prerequisites in order to further increase its potential. In addition to the integration into the Munich Metropolitan Region, spatial patterns of economic activities based on geo-referenced company locations are shown. The Dun & Bradstreet company database forms the basis for this. It contains the exact locations of all companies and their classification of economic activities. Thus, small-scale patterns can be analysed and overlaid with the settlement structure from ATKIS and the accessibility by public transport. As a result, we identify potential areas that are well developed in terms of transport, which are to be further developed without further land allocation and by integrating further functions such as housing and utilities.

Brief description: The Spatial Development Strategy of the County of Fürstenfeldbruck shows intermunicipal development potentials for the subject areas living, working, mobility and landscape.
