1 Unterthema... (blau) Bitte überschreiben. Hamburg Metropolitan Region A New Deal in Urban-Rural Relations Stadt.Land.Europa Berlin, 19 June 2012 Dr. Rolf-Barnim Foth Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg Ministry for Economy, Transport and Innovation Head of Task Force Northern German Cooperation, Hamburg Metropolitan Region, Marketing & Tourism Alter Steinweg Hamburg phone /18 rolf-barnim.foth@bwvi.hamburg.de

2 Unterthema... Agenda (blau) Bitte überschreiben. 2 Why metropolitan (urban) rural relations? Steps towards metropolitan-rural relations Best practice examples of metropolitian-rural cohesion Conclusions

3 Unterthema... Globalisation: (blau) New Bitte Challenges überschreiben. for Cities and Regions: Urban-rural cooperation is a precondition for global visibility 3

4 Globalisation: Megatrend metropolitan (city-) regions Unterthema... (blau) Bitte überschreiben. 4 Size matters! Most European cities or regions are too small to reach or to maintain global visibility. Metropolitan Region building: urban + rural = one answer to globalisation joint governance is necessary, however difficult to install!

5 Oberthema... Stages of metropolitan-regional (weiß) Bitte überschreiben. cooperation Unterthema... (blau) Bitte überschreiben. 5 Stage I: Immediate neighbourhood policy. Cooperation across city borders (peri-urban; metropolitan area: PURPLE, EUROCITIES). Stage II: Cohesive System phase. Metropolitan-regional governance system must be in place (metropolitan regions: METREX). Stage III: External relations phase with nonmetropolitan rural or urban neighbours (e.g. Hamburg, Amsterdam, Stockholm).

6 Oberthema... Inter-Regional (weiß) Cooperation Bitte überschreiben. Study Project Unterthema... (continued after (blau) 2010 on Bitte a permanent überschreiben. basis) 6 Territorial Partnership Northern Germany Metroregion Hamburg Hamburg/Metropolitan Region Schleswig-Holstein Mecklenburg Denmark Financial support from German Gov. Working Groups: Campus Nord (Northern German university network) Preparing the fixed Fehmarn Belt link Installation of a cluster Maritime Industry Expansion of Hamburg s Logistics cluster Expansion of the cluster Life Science Regional food initiative Joint tourism projects Joint North German marketing Initiatives in public transport Strengthening the role of rural regions Qualified workforce in technical sectors

7 Oberthema... Example 1: Setting (weiß) up Bitte a cluster überschreiben. Maritime Industry Unterthema... across 3 Federal (blau) States Bitte überschreiben. 7 A modern understanding of cluster policies relies on the network and joint action rather than on all partners being located within one square kilometer Each dot represents a company. Source: NordLB 2008

8 Oberthema... Example 2: Joint (weiß) tourism Bitte überschreiben. project Unterthema... (blau) Bitte überschreiben km Elbe river without tourism cooperation (4 Federal States, 6 ERDF Objective 1 counties) Initiative taken by Hamburg and money offered 3 years of preparation; project start in 2011 ( Euro) Expected results (Hamburg): Strengthening of the city s soft locational factors (attractiveness for qualified workforce); keeping expenditure in the region; getting tourists close to Hamburg (daytrip) Expected results (rural partners): better marketing, more tourism, more jobs, better income in a beautiful, but less developed region

9 Oberthema... Example 3: reversed (weiß) Bitte perspective überschreiben. rural-urban Unterthema... (blau) Bitte überschreiben. 9 Within one working group of the MORO-project for the first time the rural regions of Hamburg MR formulated their own position on how to cooperate with the metropolis: Bad Bevensen Declaration As a follow-up and on the basis of a scientificly backed consultation process two projects were initiated: 1. The future of the health care in rural regions + establishment of health care networks among cities and regions 2. Renewable energies in rural areas + networks

10 Unterthema... Added value (blau) for urban Bitte überschreiben. and rural partners 10 Cooperation brings together actors from different spheres - and opens stake holders minds for cross-administrative-border activities Long term partnership for broader cooperation triggered off (regional processes tend to take 10 years!) Win-win situations by joining forces and comparative advantages Metropolitan partners get a broader basis for securing international competitiveness Rural partners get into the driver s seat and a strong partner at eye level Partnership secures jobs in remoter regions More value creation remains inside the common region Innovation and technology transfer anywhere in the region Qualified workforce easier to get in remoter regions

11 Oberthema... Next steps in (weiß) urban-rural Bitte überschreiben. cooperation Unterthema... (blau) Bitte überschreiben. 11 Hamburg Metropolitan Region is extending its urban-rural cooperation to Denmark and Southern Sweden (Skane). This policy aims at establishing and strengthening relations within this emerging functional region

12 Unterthema... Cross Europe (blau) metropolitan-regional Bitte überschreiben. cooperation 12 Future of European cooperation: Single and multi-topical geographies with cohesion potential across national borders, but without immediate neighbourhood Example: Cooperation between aircraft regions Hamburg - Midi-Pyrénées/Aquitaine Joining forces of European clusters and ensuring a stable cooperation by a broad regional approach

13 Unterthema... Conclusions (blau) Bitte überschreiben. 13 Urban-rural cooperation is not meant as a welfare business. Metropolitan regions are cohesive systems in themselves. Urban-rural cooperation at eye level and on the basis of mutual benefit is possible. Cohesion and international competitiveness are not a contradiction. Renaissance of urban-rural relations is possible and would serve Europe National Governments as well as EU-Commission should give support to existing and to emerging functional regions within new regional policy after ESPON/Eurostat should help to make metropolitan regions visible.
