Breakout 3
Description
This breakout session examined how regional policy could help manage the uneven impacts of demographic change across places. It focused on ensuring access to services and infrastructure in both growing and shrinking regions, and addressing challenges related to fiscal sustainability, ageing populations, and spatial planning. The discussion explored opportunities linked to demographic shifts, such as the silver economy, environmental benefits, and the role of older populations in strengthening local communities.
