The demographic issues such as depopulation or aging can hardly be addressed at the local level. I would like to know about measures and actions made by local governance that led to the positive changes

Aruditya Jasrotia thank you! But this paper is about the policies implemented at the national level, which is correct to address such structural issues. I'm interested in how much local/urban policies could be effective
Elena, I am currently reading this paper by Hospers, G. J. (2013). Coping with shrinkage in Europe’s cities and towns. Urban Design International, 18(1), 78–89. https://doi.org/10.1057/udi.2012.29. He gives an example here: In the shrinking city of Brno (Czech Republic) a bottom-up approach has led to a focus on family support (Schmeidler, 2012). Making the lives of local families easier is seen as the main solution to the city’s shrinkage problem. Since 2008, the urban authorities have subsidised what they refer to as ‘family cohesion’, with measures to improve family-work balance and the social inclusion of child-caring parents. In addition, families can get free advice and support at local contact centres that are part of the so-called ‘Family Point’ project. Perhaps this can be an example, although in this paper there is no evaluation whether this strategy was successful.
Dear Anastasiya Ansteeg thank you very much for this suggestion. It is not easy to find examples with policies' evaluation
