Rural-Urban Business Model Profiles Collection

The New Businesses and Labour Markets COP developed 20 Rural-Urban Business Model Profiles that highlight different models and mechanisms to help enhance rural-urban relations and unlock synergies. The Profiles are intended to be shared widely with a variety of public and private sector actors, and other researchers, through the Rural-Urban Europe Publication Library. They can also be used as a basis for comparative analyses within and across the various Communities of Practice in ROBUST. All of the Profiles are linked below and permanently catalogued in the Publication Library.
