Executive Summary clearly presented by classifying them among the strengths and opportunities as well as the weaknesses and risks (or threats) affecting positive development. Here, too, a two-stage evaluation provides a more detailed view of the cultural and creative industries. By way of introduction, the status of the city as a whole is presented followed by a corresponding assessment of Halle 14. . 2
The city of Leipzig, its major economic and cultural profile 2 The city of Leipzig, its major economic and cultural profile 2.1 Urban Outline, major socio-economic changes, individual selected parameter Leipzig, an administrative district in its own right, is situated in north-west Saxony. Being the cradle of the Peaceful Revolution, its citizens made a major contribution to bringing about the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. With a population of nearly 519,000 (correct as of 2009), Leipzig is one of the three biggest cities in eastern Germany. And together with the neighbouring city of Halle (Saale), Leipzig makes up a conurbation which is part of the Saxon Triangle metropolitan region. With an area of 297.36 square metres, Leipzig has a population density of 1,745 inhabitants per square kilometre. Like all towns and cities in eastern Germany, after German reunification Leipzig underwent a process of major transformation accompanied by high population decline – -17.5% between 1990 and 2000 – and massive job losses in the same period. However, over the past decade the socio-economic situation was first stabilised and then successively improved. Despite a negative balance in terms of natural population development (2009: –0.1%), the total number of inhabitants of Leipzig is set to increase in the years to come owing to the positive geographical population change (2009: 0.4%). The relatively high positive commuter balance of 8.5 per 1,000 inhabitants testifies to a region with attractive employers. 2.2 Economic profile As in almost all regions in what used to be East Germany, the economic transformation beginning in 1990 resulted in the almost total collapse of industrial production and precipitated major structural changes. Only few companies managed to survive following privatisation. 1 In Leipzig’s manufacturing industry in particular, about 63% of jobs were lost between 1991 and 2006 – a period which, however, witnessed a strong shift to the service sector (cf.
