  4. Urban Regeneration – obstacles for change Obstacles in de-industrialised cities and regions: Hemmnisse in deindustrialisierten Städten und Regionen • Low diversification in economy: because of a former mono-structure Geringe Diversifizierung der Wirtschaft • Few small/family firms and independent traders: because of dominance of big companies and dependent workers Wenige kleine Familienbetriebe • Low qualification of human labour (education) Geringe Qualifikation der Arbeitskräfte • Old economical/political elites: conserving old structures, hindering innovations Alte Industrie-Eliten • Negative images: hinder new investors, immigrants and tourists to come from centers Negative Images

  5. Reurbanisation New inhabiants (housing) Restructuring New jobs (working) Source: van den Berg et al. 1982 Urban Regeneration – „management of change“ Revitalization New land-uses (physical)

  6. Shrinkage and Regeneration – different pathways Source: Kühn/Liebmann 2012

  7. Bitterfeld: From Chemical Industry to Solar Valley since 2001: solar industry settles: production of solar cells (Q-cells SE) in solar industries: 3.000 new jobs (Germans „Solar valley“) 2012: Q-cells insolvent, buyed by a south corean company (Hanwha) future of jobs is uncertain (globalisation, competition)

  8. Görlitz: culture-led regeneration European Capital of Culture 2010 • 2006: application, supported by politicians and citiziens • 4/2006: failure of application (winners: Essen, Pécs, Istanbul) • today: discussions about culture-led regeneration; • Future: „Pensionopolis“: housing of senior citiziens

  9. Greifswald: University town • Strategies of urban regeneration since 1995: university and sciences, culture and tourism • Growth of the university: from 3.200 students (1990) to 12.300 students (today) • High qualitity of education and research: knowledge-based economy (e.g. medical technology) • Today: Germanys youngest city

  10. 3. Conclusions De-industrialised towns and regions have a lot of obstacles for urban regeneration: low diversification, few small/family firms, low qualification of labour, old economical/political elites, negative images Post-socialist transformation In East German towns: different pathways between on-going shrinkage and successful regeneration Just a few examples of re-industrialised towns in East Germany: vulnerable by globalisation Post-industrial services: culture/tourism/sports is a perspective for historical towns (but better conditions in large cities and metropolises) Qualification and education are key factors for the regeneration of shrinking cities (schools, universities, research and development, technology)
