Regional monitoring of structural developments
Regionaler Strukturbericht
Background information
Various monitors of regional economic development exist. This monitor covers data from region Stuttgart (Baden-Württemberg, Germany). The Stuttgart monitor is an exceptional case: it reports sectoral and economic developments and was launched by a network comprised of local authorities, the German Metalworkers' Federation, the Chamber of Commerce/Crafts and the Institute for Market-Oriented Management (
Institut für Marktorientierte Unternehmensführung,
IMU).
Content of measure
The annual regional report for Stuttgart analyses sectoral and employment developments and gives suggestions for strategic planning. The monitor established itself as a business helping tool. It has existed since 1995. 'Stuttgart Monitor' is published every second year covering different themes over the years, such as investment (2015), digital change (2017) and mobility services (2019). It provides detailed and current information about regional economic processes. Monitoring activities are mainly based on administrative data, for example data provided by the Federal Statistical Office.
Another monitoring activity on the economic, educational and social development of 11 metropolitan regions is published by the Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs and Spatial Development, together with the Initiative of Metropolitan Regions (IMK). Reports are published on the IMKs homepage.
