Transformation of rural regions

In the context of a masters project on Gottsbühren (North Hesse) research was carried out into the structural change effected by globalisation and digitalisation in rural regions (publications on this subject in 2017). A joint research project is currently underway with the specialist fields of urban development (Prof. Stefan Rettich), urban and regional planning (Prof. Frank Roost) and the sociology of rural regions (Prof. Claudia Neu). This was preceded by a research project on public services in shrinking rural regions.
