Sustainable regional development using the example of the Upper Rhine Region
VONDERHEID, Bettina
Sustainable regional development is a highly complex concept. A uniform definition has not been possible until today, although sustainable development is the basis for the elaboration of all policies. In the EU, too, sustainable development is the basis of its regional policy. Basically, the regions have a great importance to master the challenges of the modern times. For this reason, the aim of the present work was to find out how Interreg projects, as part of the European regional policy, contribute to sustainable regional development. For this purpose, the Upper Rhine region was considered and four qualitative semi-structured expert interviews were conducted with former and current project managers of Interreg projects. In summary, it can be said that sustainable regional development is defined differently by the interviewees depending on the context. However, one tendency can be identified in the specific Interreg projects. The long-term impact of project results and thus the long-term increase of the quality of life within a cross-border area of influence or area of impact is understood here as sustainable regional development. Interreg projects have a considerable share in this development.
