1997/1998 2000 2020 The South Scandinavian Links Distance between Sealand and the European continent indicated as kilometres

Traffic crossing the lines Great Belt Öresund Fehmarnbelt Traffic on ferries and bridges

Vehicles !!
6
Great Belt (1997/1998) Domestic air traffic reduced with 33 % Railroad traffic boosted Danish logistics change Day-tourism: increase Ferry towns loose activity – but compensation
7
Crosspoint: enforcement Centrality: metropolitan competition Integration - economy of scale New mass = new specialisation Öresund (2000) A new metropolitan region: Pre-bridge Post-bridge

What we know! Infrastructural investments Fixed link. Price: 4,5 billion Euros Direct + indirect jobs 30.000-60.000 man years Denmark: railroad electrification and renewal (double track) 119 kilometers railroad: Copenhagen to tunnel (Ringsted – Rødby) Germany: Motorway from German network to tunnel (Heiligenhafen Ost – Puttgarten). Railroad: Lübeck – Tunnel. Ready 2027. Travel time Copenhagen – Hamburg: from 4½ to 3 hours = 33 % improvement Rødby – Puttgarten: from 60 to 10 minutes = 500 % improvement Fehmarnbelt Link 2011

Research project: the Fehmarnbelt Region Development Perspectives Infrastructure, logistics and traffic The role of the cities in a global/regional perspective Cross border labour market Cross border mobility Business clusters The scientific world: Centres, networks, development opportunities The potential effects of the fixed Fehmarnbelt link on real estate prices The cultural sector Values and attitudes, knowledge about ”the other side”
13
The large cities Copenhagen/Öresund-metropolis Hamburg Lübeck Kiel Rostock The regions near Fehmarnbelt Lolland-Falster-South Sealand North-east Schleswig-Holstein The corridor Three analytical perspectives Baltic Sea Ferry cities
14
Cluster cooperation: Pre- and post fixed Fehmarnbelt link
15
Clusters: Medicon Valley Alliance Øresund Food Øresund logistics Øresund Information Technology Øresund Environment Academy Clean technology – green power Profile areas: Design Material science/nanotechnology Business to business services Tourism The Øresund Region: Scania, Capital Region, Region Sjælland
16
Clusters: Life Science Maritime Economy Food Industry Information Technology Micro- and Nanotechnology Wind Energy and Renewable Energy Chemical Industry (without Pharmacy) Tourism Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg Developing clusters: Logistics Cluster Aviation
17
Present in all sub-regions: Life science/health Food Information technology (plus the medias) Logistics (with a focus on the maritime) Wind energy/green technology Tourism (inclusive of business tourism) Partial distributed: Finance sector (with business services) Cultural sector (medias) Airport related activities, civil aviation Material science/nanotechnology Maritime industries The Fehmarnbelt Region: Proposed cluster development efforts

Copenhagen/Öresund-city Hamburg Lübeck Kiel Rostock New dynamics: Crosspoint location enforcement European high speed railroad system International metropolitan competition Metropolitan cooperation: Hamburg-Öresund City clusters, research, culture The large centres Summary: potential regional change Post fixed link

Center ”Real” border region Center Border Center - center interaction
22
Neighboring regions Summary: potential regional change Post fixed link Lolland-Falster North-east Schleswig-Holstein The Copenhagen-Hamburg corridor Minus - loose employment when: Ferries terminates Tunnelbuilding finishes Plus: Construction period employment Construction period: increasing interaction and cooperation Real border region Potential mobilisation effects: demand for national active Increase in real estate values TGV-train: dramatic increase in real estate values – hot spots Increasing competitiveness in the CPH-HAM corridor Advantage for centres located in the corridor (lift in status) New localization pattern: tourism, clusters
23
Strategic goal: New North European powerhouse based on new infrastructure and new internal networks
