The State departments did not give the ex- pected support to the consultants notably as regards the intention of the State on some projects for the development of the territory (wastelands, railway infrastruc- ture...). Some monitoring and implementation tools exist for the steering of pro- jects but they are not used: the question comes to the necessity to create a new governance if existing tools are not used already. The persons responsible for the development of project do not have the habit to exchange on the various projects they lead.

    Rural-Urban Outlooks: Unlocking Synergies (ROBUST) ROBUST receives funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 727988.* October 2018 Federal Institute for Mountainous and Less-Favoured Areas Theresia Oedl-Wieser, Thomas Dax [email protected] Snapshot: Expressions of Urban – Peri-Urban – Rural Relationships Regional Employment Pact of the Metropolitan Area of Styria Metropolitan Area of Styria, Austria 1. Brief Description Territorial Employment Pacts (TEPs) are contracted partnerships to better link employment policy with other policies in order to improve the employment situation at the regional and local level. The TEPs were piloted in regional development policy of the EU in the late 1990s and had, due to its integrative approach and place-based strategy, a particular effect on (rural) territories. The support was provided within the framework of the Structural Funds Programme through the European Social Funds (ESF). Since 2001 TEPs have been main- streamed and established in all nine Austrian provinces. Additionally, some partnerships were set up at a sub-provincial level, the so-called “regional level” (e.g. in the provinces of Styria and Upper Austria). The “Regional Employment Pact of the Metropolitan Area of Styria” (REPMAS) was established in 2000 and was set up as a regional platform to gather all interested stakeholders in the fields of labour market, economic policy and regional development. It had the function of an advisory board of experts. The closer collaboration between representatives of these policy fields in the regional context (Public Employment Service Austria, Chamber of Labour, Federation of Austrian Industries, Trade Unions, Austrian Economic Chamber and political interest groups) faced the challenging objectives to strive for a better adaptation of policies to local circumstances, needs and opportunities in the field of employment.

Due to a significant drain of purchasing power from the urban core to the periphery new forms of suburban- ization are spreading. Large-scale shopping centres and malls, entertainment complexes, business and industrial parks have led not only to a serious competition between the city centres and the new suburban enterpris- es but also among various suburban communities themselves. The pull of demand for development areas and new transport facilities have caused prices for building land to rise dramatically thus pushing remain- ing agriculture and detached housing still further outside. These processes are discussed generally and by the example of the Graz Metropolitan Area. KEYWORDS rural-urban fringe, planning principles, urban sprawl, regional development program, shopping center, glob- alization, agriculture, residential development IZVLE^EK Obmestje: aktualni problemi in bodo~e perspektive Obmestje (mestno obrobje) je prostor velikih strukturnih, fiziognomskih in funkcijskih sprememb.

At the same time, regional economic problems do not stop at the city limits. In the same context the existing political and administrative structures are no longer able to cope with the raising number of tasks and problems. Furthermore, the issue related to a fair division of costs and burdens between the city and its surroundings is slowly moving into the centre of (political) discussions. CityRegion.Net has tried to define possible co-operation structures and applicable planning tools and financial instruments for so called “cityregions”.
