Welcome to our smartes.land platform—a space for learning and exploration, both for ourselves and for everyone interested in strengthening sustainable diversity and innovation orientation in the places and spaces where we live, work, and enjoy life. With this platform, we aim to interrelate our work on economic development with critical reflections on sustainable approaches to shaping local and regional economies and liveable spaces.
Here, we write about topics like green economic development including the circular economy, and green innovation and development cases. We also share inspiring approaches, helpful tools, fresh ideas, and ongoing conversations.
By „places,“ we mean villages, small towns, cities, and regions alike. The name smartes.land plays on the dual meaning of the German word Land, which can refer to different spatial entities, e.g. rural areas („smart rural areas“), towns, cities and larger territorial units such as city-region spaces (Stadt-Umland), districts or regions, or even federal states (Bundesländer).
