Abstract: The Ruhr area is not only the former heartland of industry in Germany, but still the largest urban agglomeration and now the region with the highest density of universities. Yet, after decades of deep structural change leading away from coal and steel, the region is still marked by ongoing structural weaknesses and chronically high unemployment rates. At the same time, it has relatively poor public institutions. Therefore, it is time to think outside the box. We propose a new approach with ten concrete ideas for regional support by the establishment of new public institutions in the Ruhr area.
