Regional Workshops on ‘Rural-Urban Synergy Webs’

Regional multi-stakeholder workshops to discuss the nature and characteristics of cross sectoral interaction between the different thematic fields and to explore the place-specific potentials and bottlenecks for fostering rural-urban synergies. Sharing lessons from other territorial settings will be an important means for exploring these potentials and bottlenecks. Methodologically these workshops will be largely (though not exclusively) inspired by rural-urban web and socioeconomic network analyses, exploring and analysing both spatial and non-spatial relations. These workshops will be attended by approximately 25 stakeholders (businesses, interest groups, civil society organisations) and representatives of the local/regional authorities.
