The Newsletter is a quarterly updated output of the SETTLE project. It contains analytical information about population trends and case studies in Europe. Another section deals about recent or significant publications on population imbalances. It also highlights institutions devoted to the study or management of population in Europe (who’s who). The Newsletter is fed and managed by the SETTLE network.

Newsletter SETTLE 3: Main facts of population in Europe: The city as a cell

• 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.

The objectives of this analysis are 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
