Metropole Ruhr.

Draw a circle around this location, as numerous other cities and regions dotted all over Europe tend to do, and it's easy to see how central this area is. Many measurements exist; distance a truck can drive in a day, destinations within an hours flight and population within fifty or one hundred kilometres.

The financial sturdiness and prudence in the metropole Ruhr is the result of many organisations and  institutions working together to follow a solid mission for the last few years. Saying goodbye to some Keynesian methods, the strategy followed is more international, shares are beeing sold, debt is being radically reduced and investment in youth, education, sport and infrastructure increased.
