Ghost towns in the provinces and exploding growth in metropolitan areas – the impending collapse in the birth rate could bring extreme changes. This episode of FUTURE STAGE looks at how this demographic change is affecting the real estate industry and Germany’s economic future and what solutions are urgently needed.

Gabriel Khodzitski, Carsten Rieckhoff and Thomas Beyerle analyze which cities and regions are particularly at risk and what measures need to be taken to avoid the resulting stranded assets. They discuss the need for an active immigration policy, the role of affordable housing and the importance of targeted infrastructure projects to successfully manage demographic change.
