The fourth project meeting was held in Munich at the Alpine Museum (Praterinsel 5, 80538 Munich). It was organised by ifuplan. The main objectives of the first day of the meeting are a discussion on the chosen main trend ("local centres and its fringes between competition and cooperation"), the preliminary results of WP7 and the ongoing activities of WP8. All partners (with the exception of Martin Boesch) participated (see participation list). The second day was reserved to discuss the cooperation between work packages 9 to 11 and the activities in the test regions.
