In the 1930s, Walter Christaller used new media to work out his
central place theory by counting telephone lines to identify
centralities that connected multiple spaces: Today, digitization
has a formative effect on space—on cities, the countryside, and
mobility. Or when it is lacking, disruptions are the result. The
contributions to the book offer an introductory examination of the
effects of digitization on space and deal with the topicality of
Christaller’s central place theory. The book does so both
theoretically and practically, by examining spatial policies of
current regional development programs, different conceptions of
public services, and the tasks medium-sized centers in urban and
rural areas. The second part of the book discusses which structural
changes are to be expected in the course of digitization,
especially through new mobility, and how this might affect the
attractiveness of rural areas and the tasks of medium-sized towns.
Finally, it examines the causes of populist tendencies and
experiences of loss produced by processes of globalization and
social division, as well as right-wing extremist developments in
rural areas.
