Wealthy settlements with few services

Facing decline, but with some urban potential

Challenged, but growing

Challenged areas 

Turning information into practice

Examples from Tampere regional planning for 2040

Future perspectives

  1. Generational shifts in what is attractive living? What might this mean for long-term strategy?
  2. Comprehensive understandings of mobility
  3. Combining the everyday life perspective with business and commerce development
  4. What are the specific planning needs in your municipal perspectives? 
  5. How can this type of information be useful for you in your work?

Upcoming work

  1. Publication of Nordic Working Group Results
  2. Meeting with Nordiska skärgårdssamarbetet
  3. Two follow-up projects in Denmark:
    • Danish-German cross-border region
