On the topicality of spatial planning in Germany
The political status of spatial planning in Germany is regularly the subject of intense debate, and quite a few voices in this debate express concerns about the enforceability and relevance of spatial planning - at all levels. On the other hand, we experience almost daily the problematization of issues that call for spatial planning approaches. The list is long and ranges from the housing crisis in metropolitan areas, the discussion about air pollution control in cities, the structural change after the coal phase-out, the new unease about the urban planning quality of our cities, the need for land reform, delays in infrastructure planning, and many more. The lecture with seminar parts will introduce these topics and give the opportunity to discuss them. Active participation is expected.

European Spatial Planning and Planning Systems in Europe
The lecture offers a basic introduction to the increasingly important European dimension of spatial planning and spatial development.
In the first part of the lecture, the competences and initiatives of the European Union are presented. The main focus is on the European Spatial Development Perspective and the Territorial Agenda of the European Union. Based on the presentation of these basic documents of European spatial development policy, aspects of implementation will be addressed. This includes, for example, cross-border cooperation or planning (formerly INTERREG, now European Territorial Cooperation) and ESPON (European Spatial Observation). In addition, the spatially effective specialist policies of the EU that go beyond spatial planning are addressed. Particular attention is paid to structural and regional policy (Structural Funds). Other spatially relevant policies are transport policy, environmental policy, competition policy and agricultural policy.
The second part is devoted to a detailed introduction to various European planning systems, including the Netherlands, France, England, Italy, Poland, Sweden and Switzerland.
The lecture seminar will be guided by the following questions: How far has the European integration process progressed in the fields of spatial planning, urban policy and spatial development? What are the goals of European spatial development? What means does European spatial development policy use? What are the consequences for spatial planning on the levels of nation states, regions and municipalities? Is there a Europeanization of spatial planning systems in Europe? How do the spatial planning systems in the states of Europe differ? Can we learn from the Netherlands or France?

Content:
Neighborhood redevelopment is an old topic in urban planning. However, the purpose of urban renewal has changed with the emergence of new issues such as renewable energy, climate change preparedness (Climate Improvement Districts, green infrastructure) and reindustrialization (Cities of making). We are also seeing new governance techniques and experimental collaborative approaches. In this course we will start with the emergence of urban renewal in Western Europe. We will then discuss the aforementioned changes, the role and influence of EU urban policy, and place a special emphasis on emerging issues such as suburban renewal. We will also learn about urban regeneration in France (Politique de la Ville) and England. International students will learn about urban renewal in Germany.
Active Participation:
Students will make presentations in groups of two.

Content:
In this course we will focus on the ongoing transformation processes of the Metropole Ruhr in the context of sustainable spatial and urban development. In this sense, we will examine how this post-industrial space has embarked on the path to sustainable transformation and how the region is dealing with current social, economic and environmental challenges. In addition, we will examine different concepts of regional governance that have been implemented so far in the Metropole Ruhr in order to identify the main opportunities and obstacles for future regional urban and spatial planning strategies, especially with regard to climate change adaptation. The event aims at an interdisciplinary and international dialogue on urban transformation and offers a project-oriented approach to spatial development based on several field trips directly related to the Emscher Reconstruction and the program "Zukunftsinitiative Klima.Werk" (Emschergenossenschaft).
Introduction, program overview, prerequisites for participation The Metropole Ruhr: An example of the transformation of a post-industrial region The cornerstone of regional change: the IBA Emscher Park (1989-1999) Regional governance and current approaches to urban and spatial development in the Metropole Ruhr The Metropole Ruhr in international comparison: Transformation processes in post-industrial urban regions in Europe The Metropole Ruhr in international comparison: transformation processes in post-industrial urban areas worldwide Transformative governance: The key to success for a regional approach to sustainable spatial planning and urban development The Emscher Cooperative: portrait of a river manager (excursion to the Emscher, e.g. Emscherland) The Emscher Reconstruction: a driver for sustainable urban and regional development (excursion Emscher Reconstruction, e.g. Oberhausen pumping station / Bottrop wastewater treatment plant) Living in the new Emscher Valley: assessing new work, leisure, mobility and housing concepts along the Emscher and its tributaries New challenges in adapting to climate change: heavy rains, floods and droughts in the Metropole Ruhr Linking climate change adaptation measures and transformative governance: The "Future Initiative Klima.Werk" (field trip to GVMA, Oberhausen) Rebuilding urban ecosystems: Water-based solutions to increase biodiversity in the Emscher-Lippe region (excursion Blue Classroom / Lippe Floodplain Experience Area) Outlook and future perspectives: opportunities and obstacles for a regional transformation strategy of the Metropole Ruhr.

Content:
The purpose of urban and regional development planning is to initiate, plan, program and implement balanced and sustainable socio-economic development. This is a long-term process involving various actors and institutions, both governmental and non-governmental, which must negotiate common goals and be coordinated through appropriate organizational structures and procedures. The choice of organizational and administrative measures can significantly affect the ability of regions to achieve established goals. It is therefore particularly important for development planners to have a sound knowledge of governance and decision-making processes, as well as current discourses on state modernization.
The goal of the course is therefore to (1) introduce students to the theoretical foundations of decision-making, (2) familiarize students with institutional change, (3) learn about organizations (including learning theories), and (4) gain an appreciation of state modernization (e.g., decentralization, multi-level governance).
The course includes analysis of original texts, presentations, and discussions to identify the use of theoretical approaches for practical planning.
By the end of the course, participants will have the analytical ability to link theory-based knowledge to complex, real-world conditions of planning structures at the city and regional levels. They will be able to assess site-specific institutional and organizational structures in terms of their evolution, sociocultural context, and political-administrative environment.
Remark:
The language of the seminar is English.
The registration procedure for all courses takes place at the beginning of the semester. Information and deadlines will be posted on the faculty website, by email, and at the information and orientation session prior to the start of the courses.
This course is appropriate for graduate students.
Record of Achievement:
Participating students will be asked to submit an individual essay at the end of the seminar. More information will be provided during class.
