Die Biotechnologie gilt als eine der Schlüsseltechnologien des 21. Jahrhunderts. Mit diesem technologischen Quantensprung hat ein Meilenstein einer neuen Entwicklung im Bereich der Medizin begonnen und man hofft für Krankheiten wie Krebs, AIDS, Diabetes, Alzheimer, Parkinson und Multiple Sklerose bessere Therapiemöglichkeiten bzw. Heilungschancen zu erlangen. Eng verbunden mit den wissenschaftlichen Erfolgen der neuen bio- und gentechnologischen Methoden und Verfahren ist die Frage nach deren erfolgreicher Kommerzialisierung und den ökonomischen Potenzialen für Standorte und Regionen. Gezeigt hat sich, dass sich die Unternehmen der Biotechnologie und Pharmaindustrie in der Nähe zu wissenschaftlichen Einrichtungen in so genannten Clustern ansiedeln. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht am Beispiel der Øresundregion, wie es zur Entstehung dieses Biotechnologieclusters gekommen ist und welche Position die junge Biotechnologie-Region im Norden Europas im weltweiten Wettbewerb um Know-how, Kapital, Humankapital und Unternehmensansiedlungen einnimmt. Dabei wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche Faktoren zur Genese und Entwicklung der Biotechnologie in der Øresundregion beigetragen und wie diese zu bewerten sind, sowohl aus Unternehmensperspektive wie auch aus regionaler Perspektive. In die Analyse fließen die Auswertung von rund 60 Expertengesprächen der Biotechnologie-Branche sowie die Ergebnisse eines Unternehmensfragebogens unter den Biotechnologie-Unternehmen der Region ein. Das Buch wendet sich an Dozenten und Studierende der Betriebswirtschaftslehre und der Wirtschaftsgeographie sowie an interessierte Führungskräfte aus dem Bereich der Life Science Industrie sowie Beratern mit regionalem Schwerpunkt.

Wenn Menschen in die Städte ziehen, gehen sie dem Land verloren. Der Prozess der Peripherisierung ländlicher Gebiete ist daher eng mit dem der Urbanisierung verwoben. Im Rahmen dieser Entwicklung ergeben sich vielseitige Herausforderungen für den ländlichen Raum, welche die Zielerreichung gleichwertiger Lebensverhältnisse in den ruralen Teilräumen Deutschlands beeinträchtigen. Kann Digitalisierung dazu genutzt werden Mobilität, Betreuungsangebote und Nah- sowie medizinische Versorgung auf dem Land zu verbessern? Werden diese Angebote von der Bevölkerung akzeptiert? Lässt sich vielleicht sogar eine Stadtflucht in smarte Zukunftsdörfer erreichen? Dieser Sammelband zeigt die Ergebnisse eines ganzheitlichen Projekts zur nachhaltigen digitalen Transformation in mehreren Dörfern als "Living Labs". Synergien und Potentiale, Herausforderungen und Erfolgskriterien sowie der Weg zur smarten Kommune werden aufgezeigt und deutlich gemacht, dass 'smarte' ländliche Räume eigene Anforderungen haben, die sich maßgeblich von „Smart Cities“ unterscheiden. Der Inhalt Herausforderungen ländlicher Räume Handlungsfelder, Modellregionen und digitale Modelldörfer Umsetzungsbeispiele aus unterschiedlichsten Lebensbereichen Erfolgskriterien für digitale Transformation Sicht der Kommunalpolitik und der Bürger Der Weg zum digitalen Zukunftsdorf Die Herausgeberin Professorin Dr. Diane Ahrens leitet an der Technischen Hochschule Deggendorf den Technologie Campus Grafenau für angewandte Forschung in den Bereichen Digitale Transformation und Künstliche Intelligenz. Im Forschungsschwerpunkt „Smart Region“ werden von ihrem Team u.a. drei bayerische Modellregionen entwickelt.

The European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP) is published in eleven official EU languages and so is the most international planning policy document that exists. This book is the only comprehensive account of the process of preparing, negotiating and adopting this document. It outlines the differing perspectives of the European member states and shows that the last thing its proponents wanted is a masterplan. The Making of the European Spatial Development Perspective is a unique book offering a snapshot of contemporary European spatial planning.

This book presents a comprehensive debate and analysis of existing Territorial Impact Assessment (TIA) methodologies, designed under the auspices of the ESPON programme since the mid-2000s. This is intended to serve as a TIA handbook for the reader, to better understand the main differences, advantages and shortcomings of each presented TIA methodology. It also serves as a manual for professors and students in the field of policy evaluation, and territorial analysis, as it presents concrete examples of the implementation of each TIA methodology, their formulas and intrinsic evaluation elements. The purpose of policy evaluation methodologies is to check the main effects of private and public investments, in order to report back to policymakers and citizens on their efficiency and effectiveness. Over the past decades, both in Europe and worldwide, there has been an increasingly awareness of the need to implement/reinforce policy evaluation practices, at all territorial levels. At the same time, it has become widely accepted that many policy interventions produce impacts in more than one dimensions of territorial development. In this context, the use of a holistic and territorial approach for policy impact assessment evaluation has rapidly been adopted by the European Commission as a mainstream policy evaluation procedure.

The ideas presented in this book are a conceptual leverage to correct the rigidity of top-down practices and bring the real city, or the city of everyday life, closer to the city of conventional planning. Considering self-organization as the starting point at the base of complex systems, this book tries to understand how specific qualities emerge and evolve from this behavior. For this, the book discusses new ways of looking at and understanding cities by applying holistic methods and approaches based on the conceptual grounds of quantum, fractal, and complexity theories. The book highlights the fact that the information on how to transform and build a city is contained within the city itself. In this regard, some methodological steps to unpack complexities and translate the essential qualities of space into potential generators for city design and planning are provided. The book urges courageous experimentation and proposes a methodology where the computational nature of urban phenomena goes along with historic anthropological ideas, thus emphasizing the characteristics of a specific reality in a model. They do not exclude each other; in fact, they are part of the unbroken web of wholeness. Importantly, the proposed methodology supports gradual and natural coevolution process in the city through combining planned and unplanned actions and the involving multiplicity of actors, impacting on Urban Planning and Design Practice.

This book explores how migrants and refugees can revitalise peripheral regions and communities economically. The extent to which migrants stimulate the economic activities of these regions through labour market participation, entrepreneurship, innovation and consumption is examined theoretically and empirically for the EU as a whole, as well as through empirical case studies that highlight the impact of migration at macro, company, and individual levels. A particular focus is given to the economic consequences of Third Country Nationals to places beyond the cities, i.e. the peripheral and remote regions of Europe. This book aims to provide insight into the role of migrations in low productive and labour-intensive regions. The authors provide innovative policy recommendations to stimulate the positive economic consequences of immigration to places beyond the cities. It will be of interest to students, researchers, and policymakers working within labour economics and migration and integration policies.
