Abstract

Weimar achieved urban recovery as a ‘consumer city’ with sub-brandings like a population magnet with a high living-quality, a cultural city with touristic attractions, and a university city. Its intensive cultural promotion policies combined with urban regeneration programs have contributed to the recent demographic and economic growth. This study demonstrates this success and investigates its sectoral weaknesses compared to other German cities. Weimar needs an optimal mixture of consumption- and production-oriented development strategies to rectify the current structural imbalances and better control those negative impacts caused by a rapidly ageing population. Besides ample presence and intact connectivity of high-tech industries and producer services within a city which enhance R&D, innovation and productivity, Weimar should more seriously consider, when design-ing future development policy, that both urban growth approaches are interrelated: agglomeration generates higher income for the creative class, whereas high urban amenities attract young creative entrepreneurs selecting locations for start-ups.
消费城市的城市复兴:以东德魏玛为例
魏玛作为一个“消费城市”实现了城市的复苏,其子品牌如具有高生活质量的人口磁铁、具有旅游景点的文化城市和大学城。其密集的文化推广政策与城市更新计划相结合,促进了最近的人口和经济增长。这项研究证明了这一成功,并调查了与其他德国城市相比,其部门的弱点。魏玛需要以消费和生产为导向的发展战略的最佳组合,以纠正目前的结构不平衡,更好地控制人口迅速老龄化造成的负面影响。除了高科技产业和生产性服务业在城市内的充分存在和完整的联系可以提高研发,创新和生产力外,魏玛在设计未来发展政策时应该更加认真地考虑这两种城市增长方式是相互关联的:集聚为创意阶层带来更高的收入,而高城市设施吸引年轻的创意企业家选择创业地点。
