Client

Cooperation with Handelsblatt

Year

2013


The “Prognos Zukunftsatlas® 2013” illustrates the future opportunities of all 402 districts and independent cities in Germany. It builds on the previous atlases from the years 2004, 2007, and 2010, and forms their continuation and update. This makes it the only nationwide ranking that visualizes regional developments over a ten-year period.

Prognos Zukunftsatlas® 2013: At a glance (in German)

Based on the benchmark of the 402 German districts and independent cities, the Zukunftsatlas® illustrates the positioning of the regions in the location competition both in the form of topic-specific (sub-indexes) and overall, in the form of a future index (overall ranking) and derived classes of sustainability.

The Zukunftsatlas® thus functions as a central instrument for the deduction of region-specific needs for action and the design of future-oriented strategy processes in regional development and economic development. Also available as
