Research area: the production of space

Space does not merely exist, space is produced: In the context of globalisation and global change, multi-faceted spatial changes are taking place at local, regional, national and international levels. The research area Production of space uses three approaches that are important for the development of modern forms of regional geography and for the study of the dynamic spatial structure and constellations of Central and Eastern Europe.

  • The production of space: man and nature
  • The production of space: polarisation and peripheralisation
  • The production of space: state and society
