WENDE. PERSPEKTIVE. PLANUNG

The articles in this Spatial Planning 2024 yearbook outline the challenges for a planning turnaround, both in principle and in individual areas of planning. The criticism of the dominant growth paradigm leads to post-growth planning, to new approaches in the transport and mobility transition, but also to new planning and assessment instruments for the climate and energy transition. Changes in perspective are necessary and also contribute to innovative cooperation for sustainable(r) urban and regional development. The Spatial Planning 2024 yearbook also poses questions about shaping the future:
Is it enough to aim for marginal improvement steps? Or do the current crises present us with challenges that can only be overcome in a transformative and creative way? Is it enough to think within familiar systems, or is a change of perspective required, especially in planning?
