Abstract

Zusammenfassung In Deutschland hat seit dem Jahr 2000 eine spürbare Konvergenz zwischen städtischen und ländlichen Regionen stattgefunden. Dieser Befund überrascht, da zuletzt vermeintlich abgehängte Regionen und scheinbar wachsende räumliche Disparitäten die öffentliche Diskussion bestimmten. Entgegen der verbreiteten Wahrnehmung wurde die räumliche Konzentration der Bevölkerung durch die Wanderung in die Städte bislang aber nicht von einer vergleichbaren Zentralisierung der Wirtschaftsaktivität begleitet. Der ländliche Raum konnte seinen Anteil am deutschen Bruttoinlandsprodukt vielmehr konstant halten, sodass sein Rückstand je Einwohner gegenüber den Wirtschaftszentren schrumpft. Die an sich erfreuliche Konvergenz begünstigt jedoch nicht alle ländlichen Regionen gleichermaßen – und die demografische Entwicklung spricht auch gegen eine langfristige Stärkung ländlicher Regionen.
