This paper reviews the existing literature on digitization and spatial development. It then identifies the potentially concerned sectors of spatial development through re-interpreting the basic ‘functions of existence’ in the light of digitization. Expert interviews in three selected Austrian small-town regions inform the outcome of the paper: an extensive list of opportunities and risks through digitization in the fields of mobility, economy, tourism, environment, social infrastructure, local governance and planning.}, type={Text}, title={Digitization in Austrian small-town regions: opportunities and risks for spatial planning and development}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/Content/234491/WA51_271670_r2021-t41_EuropaXXI-Stroissing.pdf}, keywords={Austria, case study, digitization, small-town, spatial development, urban region}, }
