Abstract
The relation of space and economics has proved to be important repeatedly and is a most interesting field of research. This report tries to identify spatial economic structural changes in a region that is undergoing long term economic stagnation and spatial decentralization of population and employment. As this region is distinguished by a relatively large manufacturing industry, the developments in that industry receive extra attention. Manufacturing industry is believed to have followed a different path of decentralization, preceding the service-industry for sure, and possibly even the population. The decentralization has changed the urban system that used to be dominated by a central city. The new structure is a network of employment sub-centers that are more equal in terms of employment distribution.
