Für den Lebensraum von morgen

Fundamental Planning Topics, Spatial Planning Projects, Spatial Quality, Local Development, Village Renewal, Co-Productive Planning, Deliberative Planning. Restructuring Urban Quarters

As a result of the series of four research and debate symposia convened by ETH Zurich members with international academics and practitioners in the field of spatial planning, this book revolves around "inspiring stories" that describe a wide variety of spatial problems as well as the planning mechanisms used to address these; in addition, "fundamental topics" are provided to facilitate the understanding of certain planning processes illustrated by the practical cases.

Demographic Changes, Protection of Property, Land Management Instruments, Expropriation, Urban Development

Raumentwicklung, Siedlungsentwicklung, Landesplanung, Verfassungsgrundlage, Raumplanungsgesetze, Politik

Der Lebensraum Schweiz hat sich in den letzten Jahren stark gewandelt. Die höheren Ansprüche an Wohnen, Arbeiten, Freizeit und Mobilität führten vermehrt zu neuen Knappheiten – die Schweiz wird im Mittelland immer mehr zu einer Stadt, geprägt durch überregionale Metropolitanräume.

Spatial Planning, Land Use Strategies, Ressources

Across Europe, land is constantly the subject of enormous and widely varied pressures. The land we have is shrinking in area due to numerous reasons, including those that are directly related to climate change and migration. In fact all disciplines that have responsibilities for the husbandry use, management, and administration of the land are forced to address the problems of how to plan and how to utilise this increasingly valuable resource.

Spatial Planning, Urban Planning, ISOCARP

As part of the ISOCARP 50th anniversary programme, the publication of Ten Years of UPATs: Reflections and Results is certainly one of the "flagship" activities of ISOCARP. We have to thank the editors and authors, as well as all the members of the Urban Planning Advisory Teams who contributed to the impressive quality of this publication.

Spatial Planning, Land Management

Sustainability, complex land use and awareness of spatial quality are keywords for spatial planning on all levels. Therefore, sustainable spatial development is essential for the coming decades. Changes in climate, modes of transportation, demographics and the economic situation are important challenges for all spatially relevant actors.

Spatial Planning, Natural Monuments

Spaces and Projects of National Importance (SAPONI) are not only important for the respective spatial areas, they are also in the interest of the entire nation, and sometimes of European interest as well. Over a three years period a series of different symposia with high-level spatial planners from all over Europe had been focusing on these strategic spaces and projects. The book sums up the findings of these issues which can have "far-reaching consequences and chances that could be used – or they could be lost" like the leader of the workshop-series, Prof. Bernd Scholl, points out.
