Description :
Structural changes in the Ruhr area is taking place under conditions of economic and demographic shrinking as well as suburbanization. This dynamic trends to result in a perforated urban structure with holes like brownfield sites, unused housing space and empty shops. Yet, the instruments that are used to manage the change were designed in times of economic growth. The paper argues that a new kind of patchwork management is needed, which aims to connect and integrate the more and more unconnected structures and functions of the urban mosaic. The challenge emerges at interregional, regional and local level, with the latter being at focus here. - (IfL)
