Regionalisation of Knowledge-Based Services: The Change of City-Hinterland Relation Within the German Urban System Authors Anna Growe Institut für Umweltsozialwissenschaften und Geographie, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, Werthmannstraße 4, 79098, Freiburg, Deutschland DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s13147-013-0220-4 Keywords: Regionalisation, Hubs, Space of places, Space of flows, Knowledge economy, City-regions, Germany Abstract This paper examines the emergence of a new urban-rural relationship on the basis of the development of nodes of knowledge-intensive services in the German urban system. It will be discussed whether the relocation of knowledge-based services into regional hinterlands in the German urban system leads to a changed city-hinterland relation. It will be analysed if networks are affected by processes of regionalisation and concentrated deconcentration can be observed in the German urban system. To understand the influence of regionalisation processes on cities as hubs, developments will be observed from two different perspectives (embeddedness and network integration) that mirror two facets of cities as hubs.
