Germany's major cities have experienced an unprecedented population boom in the past 15 years, accom-panied by equally strong economic growth. This development, often referred to as reurbanization, is contro-versially discussed in spatial and urban research in terms of its functional-morphological and socio-spatial effects. Frequently, reference is made to a multidimensional gentrification process and the associated so-cial exclusion risks. Social displacement and new forms of suburbanization of poverty are considered markers of a dynamic socio-spatial restructuring of urban regions in the Western world. While the phenomenon of gentrification can now be considered comparatively well researched, the effects of reurbanization on non-residential functions and land uses have rarely been the subject of research to date. Whereas forms of displacement of lower-yielding branches (such as craft businesses) from densely populated cities and the associated risk of a functional segregation have been the subject of urban policy debate, there are hardly any in-depth empirical studies devoted to this topic.The proposed research project is designed to fill this research gap. It will investigate whether and to what extent forms of commercial displacement have occurred in large German city regions and – if evidence of such processes is found – which causal factors can be identified. It is assumed that business relocations can be understood both as a process of adaptation to changing local market conditions and as the result of deliberate urban development policies aimed at strengthening residential uses and/or higher-value economic uses in cities.The empirical analyses are limited to craft enterprises, which are assumed to be particularly vulnerable to displacement from the core cities as a comparatively low-return industry. Five metropolitan regions in North Rhine-Westphalia serve as case studies, in which the location structures of the crafts sector and the chang-es between 2010 and 2020 are examined. In terms of methodology, the strongly explorative project will op-erate with a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods.

在过去的15年里，德国的主要城市经历了前所未有的人口激增，伴随着同样强劲的经济增长。这种发展，通常被称为再城市化，是有争议的讨论在空间和城市研究方面的功能形态和社会空间的影响。人们经常提到多层面的中产阶级化进程和相关的社会排斥风险。社会流离失所和新形式的贫困郊区化被认为是西方世界城市地区动态社会空间结构调整的标志。虽然现在可以认为对绅士化现象进行了比较充分的研究，但到目前为止，再城市化对非居住功能和土地使用的影响很少成为研究的主题。从人口密集的城市转移低收益的产业（如手工业）的形式以及由此带来的功能隔离的风险一直是城市政策辩论的主题，但几乎没有任何深入的实证研究专门针对这一主题。拟议的研究项目旨在填补这一研究空白。它将调查在德国大城市地区是否发生了商业转移，以及在多大程度上发生了商业转移，如果发现了这种过程的证据，可以确定哪些因果因素。据认为，企业迁移既可以被理解为适应不断变化的当地市场条件的一个过程，也可以被理解为旨在加强城市住宅用途和/或更高价值经济用途的深思熟虑的城市发展政策的结果，实证分析仅限于手工艺企业，据认为，手工艺企业作为回报相对较低的行业，特别容易被核心城市取代。北莱茵-威斯特伐利亚州的五个大都市区作为案例研究，在其中的工艺品行业的位置结构和2010年和2020年之间的变化进行了检查。在方法论上，这个探索性很强的项目将采用定量和定性相结合的方法。
