Topic: This article reveals the possibilities for the Munich Metropole region to remain a successful economic area and how these findings can be transferred to other areas in Europe.
Brief description: In cooperation with the European Metropolitan Network Institute (The Hague) a workshop on the economic development of the Munich Metropolitan Region was held on 30 March 2011. This workshop is part of a Europe-wide comparative study of the metropolitan areas of Munich, Madrid, Poznań, Bratislava and Stockholm. The final report is currently being prepared. The example of Munich represents a case study of a prospering economic region which is nevertheless exposed to knowledge-driven spatial structural change. Important stakeholders from the metropolitan region took part in the discussion. Among the participants were representatives of IFG Ingolstadt GmbH and Flughafen München GmbH.
