“Population imbalances in Europe: challenges of urban concentration versus rural depopulation"    
This project studies population imbalances in Europe, their challenges and opportunities, by contrasting two different territorial subjects: rural areas suffering from depopulation versus growing urbanization areas with a high concentration of population
Foreseen outcomes: 

Objectives:

To describe the settlement paths of population in Europe and their growth dynamics; to detect through economic and social models the factors conditioning these dynamics; to know the socioeconomic challenges in terms of services and infrastructure as well as the opportunities for a better cohesion between these two territorial realities; and to describe relations between rural areas and cities.
