Demographischer Wandel und Maßnahmen zum Umbau der kommunalen Infrastruktur - Eine Bestandsaufnahme am Beispiel ausgewählter Städte des Landes Sachsen-Anhalt
The article presents the results of an empirical investigation into urban reconstruction measures of selected East German cities in the field of infrastructure. Due to the general demographic trend of a shrinking population, it has been claimed that urban infrastructure has to be deconstructed or reconstructed, in response to the shrinking process. The article shows that (up to the year 2005) in all cities measures for an expanding infrastructure were dominant; only in the fields of schools, children’s day-care and water supplies, the cities had already started measures to reduce the existing infrastructure.
