Within this research, ESPON sets out to produce evidence on how strategic planning in rural areas best should respond to the multi-faceted phenomena of shrinking.

The main outcome of this targeted analysis should be a list of evidence-based recommendations as well as a model to support strategic planning processes in European shrinking areas that may reveal and open new and alternative development paths for rural areas and citizens living there.
