Socio-economic impacts of growth corridors (C01)

Subject Area Human Geography
Term since 2018
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 328966760
 

Project Description

In the first phase of the project, C01 identified spatial structures, value chain relations, and dynamics of infrastructuring through the establishment of growth corridors including intended and unintended impacts on local businesses and livelihoods. The observed uneven spatial manifestation and evolution of the unintended economic dynamism requires a deeper understanding of the developmental effects of the growth corridors. To do this, C01 will expand its conceptual framework on corridor and value-chain analysis by adding a relational perspective on cross-border territory and regional path creation.
