Fehmarn BELT Region Plan & Network Initiative

A new Danish-German region is taking shape due to the Fehmarn Belt Connection, which is characterized by connecting two mainly rural and periurban areas on each side of the Fehmarn Belt. From a regional development perspective, this situation represents a unique opportunity - but also a challenge - to ensure a decentralized perspective on the region. Through a network and stakeholder participation approach, the BELT Planning & Network Initiative seeks to facilitate knowledge transfer and collaborative learning to integrate social, cultural and environmental aspects in local and regional transformation and development.
