This online workshop will grasp the rising demand for second homes and increasing multi-locationality during the COVID-19 pandemic. It will also aim to bridge the experiences from Nordic countries with counter-urbanisation and planning, and discuss the Finnish context in more depth.

The workshop addresses policymakers responsible for national and regional planning in Finland and its neighbouring countries. It further invites researchers and stakeholders that were involved in ESPON projects on the current COVID-19 pandemic and its territorial impacts.
