Abstract
This thesis’ research concerns the time-dynamics of a complex geographical network of municipalities, i.e. the Dutch Municipality Network over the period 1830-2019. By analysing 190 years of socioeconomic statistical data and applying contemporary tooling from network science and geographic information systems (GIS), the findings from this research can provide a new approach and supportive methods for policymakers, statistical offices, researchers and businesses (to decide when and where to invest).
