Baltic Sea - & Nordic and Northern Peripheries Region
Dense web of co-operative relationships and interlocking institutions with various memberships, scopes of activity, loci of power, resources and agendas.
Also trade and migration
Main territorial dynamics
• The north-south divide: climate conditions, settlement pattern, transport infrastructure.
• The east-west divide: administrative borders, socio-economic development aspects, transport infrastructure.
• The urban-rural divide: challenges for the regional cohesion. – partly striking differences bw the metropolitan areas and
hinterlands (ageing, outward migration, infrastructure). – Differences and diversity in the physical urban structures
