The countries include Germany, Finland, Italy, Austria, Poland, Spain, and Hungary. For the evaluation of the locations, 15 element groups were formed, which included 38 evaluation criteria, such as aspects of sustainability, digitalization topics, intermodality, land perspectives, or the commitment and competence of the responsible management company. The aim of the performance comparison is to gain valuable new insights for the further development of GVZ in Germany and Europe.
