DEMOLOGOS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

DEMOLOGOS stands for Development Models and Logics of Socioeconomic Organization in Space'. It is a Specific Targeted Research Project (STReP) under European Commission's Sixth Framework Programme, coordinated by Frank Moulaert at Global Urban Research Unit, School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

The project aims at improving the analysis of socio-economic development paths and models leading to the Knowledge Society. To this purpose, a new methodology is designed and applied to case-studies in a variety of industrialised countries, regions and cities. The methodology is comparative, historical and multi-dimensional. This last property in particular means that the new approach looks at the various dimensions of socio-economic development (capital accumulation, state regulation, socio-cultural dynamics, relationships among state and civil society and state and market, strategies for growth, development and social cohesion) over inter-connected spatial scales (local, regional, national and international level)
