“…These urban regions ( Stadtregionen ) are also major analytical units of the Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs and Spatial Development (BBSR) within the Federal Office for Building and Regional Planning that advises the federal government in the fields of spatial planning, urban development, housing and building. Therefore, these regions that cover approximately 32% of the built-up area used for settlement or transport infrastructure are of particular interest in understanding urban dynamics in Germany in a regional and national context (Baumgart et al., 2016).…”

“…Among the influencing factors on growth and decline are developments in social structures, employment and changes in land development in these regions. How these factors are interconnected and influence each other is part of further research towards a long-term geomonitoring of these regions in order to better understand these new forms of urbanisation in Germany (Baumgart et al., 2016).…”

Half the population of Europe's largest economy by population and economic output lives in 30 main urban agglomerations. This paper presents a series of cartogram visualisations of population changes in Germany for these areas that happened in the period 2008-2013. Most of the areas have seen an urban renaissance by regaining growth. After a long period of suburbanisation, growth started returning to city centres. Among the few declining major urban agglomerations, the old industrial Ruhr area stands out, with an overall decline that is larger than any decline in all other major urban agglomerations put together. Population decline in the analysed period almost exclusively took place in suburban areas. Both trends mark an important change in the population dynamics of these major urban regions in the country.
