Population imbalances in Europe: challenges of urban concentration versus rural depopulation
LAST NEWS OF THE CONFERENCE
 
Due to the pandemic situation and after consultations with the Erasmus + Agency, we must tell you that the Conference will be postponed for some months, to be held in 2022 Spring. Those who have sent abstracts will receive an evaluation of the Scientific Committee by mid May 2021 (as it was first forecasted), so that you can keep on working on your papers for an extended time.

For those that did not send a paper, the abstracts reception will be open up to the end of 2021 on the topics suggested below:

TOPICS FOR THE CONFERENCE PAPERS

  • Regional policy design for a balanced population

“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.
