EXIT launches its interactive map
Date: 29 Apr, 2024

As we delve deeper into our current fieldwork, our aim is to unravel territorial inequalities as they are experienced and negotiated on the ground.

The selection of cases is a cornerstone of this research endeavour. A critical decision, it shapes the trajectory of our research.

We’re thrilled to unveil our interactive map showcasing the 17 case study areas spanning across 8 countries, where the different research teams are currently conducting fieldwork.

From rural areas to urban peripheries, and postindustrial zones, these diverse areas have been chosen based on a comprehensive set of indicators identified during the initial stages of our research.

To capture the nuances of local agencies, relationships, and their interconnectedness with the broader socio-political and economic context, the exploration takes off at the municipal level (the LAU level), a ubiquitous entity across states.
