Future atlas

The future atlas is a regular evaluation of all German districts and urban districts carried out by Prognos AG .

It has been published every three years since 2004.

Procedure

The classification is based on a scale from 1 (top future opportunities) to 8 (very high future risks), considering 29 metrics from the areas

• Demographics,
• Social situation and prosperity,
• Labour market,
• Competitiveness and innovation,

whose current strength and dynamics of development are weighted. The 2016 edition contained a digitization compass for the first time , which visualized the perspectives in the field of the digital economy.

cards

The map series, which is also available as an interactive web application, illustrates the increasing south-north divide within Germany.

Precedence

The first twenty places are predominantly in Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Hesse. In contrast, districts from the new federal states and the Ruhr area traditionally take the last places. In the meantime there were some changes in the shape of the circles; in these cases no values ​​are reported.
