“…This paper set out to analyze the appeal of European regions from a migrant's perspective. In light of the rapidly changing demographic and socioeconomic environments, a region's ability to attract future residents may represent a crucial aspect in determining its development prospects and future economic well being (Champion, 1993; Wilson and Rees, 2003; Niedomysl, 2004; Malecki, 2004). We distinguish between economic, sociodemographic and amenity‐based elements, to analyze the pull of various territorial features for migrants across 133 European regions over a time period of 17 years.…”

“…The appeal of territories for potential migrants has long been acknowledged as a crucial aspect in regional development policies (Champion, 1993; Wilson and Rees, 2003; Niedomysl, 2004). In light of changing demographic and socioeconomic environments, the ability of territories to attract and to compete for future residents (McCann, 2004; Malecki, 2004) has been shown to play a fundamental role in determining a territory's future prospects.…”

This paper delves into the factors, which determine the attractiveness of regions in Europe for migrants. Contrary to the literature on the United States, which has increasingly focused on the role of amenities, existing research in Europe tends to highlight the predominance of economic conditions as the main drivers of migration. Differentiating between economic, sociodemographic and amenity‐related territorial features, we examine the appeal of various regional characteristics for migrants by analyzing net migration data for 133 European regions between 1990 and 2006. Our results show that, in addition to economic, human capital‐related and demographic aspects, network effects and—in contrast to existing literature—different types of regional amenities exert an important influence on the relative attractiveness of sub‐national territories across the European Union. Our findings therefore indicate that locational choices in Europe may be much more similar to place‐based preferences in the United States than originally thought.

“…This type of urban branding is primarily aimed at attracting visitors, investors or inhabitants (Niedomysl 2004) and is therefore quite different to the type of urban branding in focus in this article. Nonetheless despite being based on very different motivations and target audiences both these variants of urban branding are representational or narrative story telling aiming at persuading particular audiences 'to see the city' in particular ways (Selby 2004;Jensen 2007).…”

Acknowledgements:The authors would like to thank the Nordic Innovation Centre and CIND for their support of this project and for the participants in the wider project "Image of the City" for their input. We are particularly appreciative of the people who were kind enough to give up their time to be interviewed and give us the information this paper is based upon.2 "Fashioning a global city: global city brand channels in the fashion and design industries." AbstractThis article approaches the ways in which fashion and design based industrial actors contribute to creating images and myths that support global city status. We suggest that multi-channel systems of brand building and differentiation exist at regional and local levels: supportive of, and constituted by, cultural industries. Milan is used as a case study to show how the city is an arena where different brand channels are negotiated and formed to service fashion and design branding. For cultural industries these systems are vital regional sources of advantage and necessary complements to other localised phenomena such as industrial agglomerations and clusters.

“…Hotspots are key to understand possible ways of development. This will include refining place-marketing used by municipalities to increase attractiveness (Niedomysl, 2004). Also, there are several questions connected to the aim such as; what households if any, will live in the countryside and in hotspots?…”

Rural housing market hot spots and footloose in-migrants

This study applies a housing market perspective on hotspots in northern, rural Sweden. It uses the concept 'hotspot' defined as places with rising house prices and in-migration of households with higher than average education and income. The focus rests on three places having the ideal characteristics of being a rural hotspot, located in three Swedish northern municipalities. These places are explored through ten interviews with 'footloose' households. The aim is to explore factors that shape rural housing market hotspots using stories from hotspot population households. The first reason for this study is that regional planning requests understanding to develop different regions and places for the future. Here the origins of hotspots are explored to understand the spread and sustainability of such developments. Second, housing markets in the countryside are more scantily investigated than in urban areas. In the unbalanced housing market with higher prices and limited supply in the urban areas hotspots in rural areas are not following traditional housing market theories, they are rather anomalies. Interviews with a specific footloose group of recent hotspot in-migrants are used in combination with knowledge about the housing market. Results show that although hotspots are locations with beautiful nature most households moved there because of finding jobs. The three areas have the 'extra' nature values and high status required for being a hotspot and a location for commuting to larger labor markets. The 'footloose' non-return migrants did find nice, cheaper housing that made them chose the area despite being strangers to the place. I suggest hotspots are the rare combination of footloose migrants and special places which make them difficult to develop elsewhere.
