„Regiopolises – Cities Helping to Develop Rural Spaces and Relieve Metropolises“ „Regiopolises – cities helping to develop rural spaces and relieve metropolises“ Presentation Prof. Dr. Johannes Weinand Head of the Urban Development and Statistics Office of Trier and the Office of the Federal Regiopolis Network as part of the event INTA 42 WORLD URBAN CONGRESS ROSTOCK, 19 - 21 SEPTEMBER 2018 THE HIDDEN VALUE OF MEDIUM-SIZED CITIES Prof. h.c. Dr. Johannes Weinand, Leiter des Amtes Stadtentwicklung und Statistik, Rathaus Trier 1 Regiopolises are definded as follows A regiopolis is a term used in urban and regional planning and development. It is a city outside a metropolitan area which serves as a driving force for the development of the surrounding region. It is a significant hub in the urban network. The region surrounding such a regiopolis is called the regiopolis region or regiopolitan area. Prof. h.c. Dr. Johannes Weinand, Leiter des Amtes Stadtentwicklung und Statistik, Rathaus Trier 2 The term regiopolis is a hybrid combination of the Latin word „regio“,which means „region“, and the ancient Greek word „polis“, which means „city“. The term is used to characterize a bigger city outside the core of a metropolitan area which is a higher-order centre with prominent importance for a larger surrounding area and has its own dynamic development region. A regiopolis can also be situated in the periphery of a metropolis. Prof. h.c. Dr. Johannes Weinand, Leiter des Amtes Stadtentwicklung und Statistik, Rathaus Trier 3 Prof. h.c.

Dr. Johannes Weinand, Leiter des Amtes Stadtentwicklung und Statistik, Rathaus Trier 18 Tasks of the regiopolis charter/ cooperation agreement The network sees itself as a platform of regiopolises in Germany and has the following tasks: . Strengthening its identity internally and externally . Pooling national and international lobby work with the following objectives: Regiopolises are recognised as driving forces for innovation and growth in their respective regions. Regiopolises are recognised as anchor points for the stabilisation and development of public service tasks and infrastructures in their respective regions. The „regiopolis“ is firmly anchored and established as an additional spatial category in the context of the Federal Spatial Planning Policy as well as state and regional development with corresponding budget allocations, and is also a location for federal functions. Political perception on the federal, national and European level is ensured. Prof. h.c. Dr. Johannes Weinand, Leiter des Amtes Stadtentwicklung und Statistik, Rathaus Trier 19 Extracts from the coalition agreement relevant for regiopolises A new national support scheme for economically underdeveloped regions, towns/ cities, municipalities and administrative districts aims to fight the growing inequality beween cities and regions and strives to enable equal living conditions across Germany. We will fight structural weaknesses in rural areas, in regions, towns/ cities and municipalities in all federal states effectively and will support the municipalities in tackling the challenges of the demographic change, in order to create equal living conditions. It is our wish that the people in all regions have proper access to the services of general interest, including education. They shall be able to partake in new and modern infrastructure. Prof. h.c. Dr. Johannes Weinand, Leiter des Amtes Stadtentwicklung und Statistik, Rathaus Trier 20 We will continue, further promote and extend urban development (funding) with a view to supporting economically underdeveloped regions by strengthening intermunicipal cooperations as well as urban- rural partnerships. Especially considering the rural regions, one main focus will be on the revival of village and town city centres. Successful pilot schemes for rural development will quickly be included in standard funding schemes, and these will also be opened up to support local actors. We will examine the adoption of this procedure for urban areas. Prof. h.c. Dr. Johannes Weinand, Leiter des Amtes Stadtentwicklung und Statistik, Rathaus Trier 21 We will work out a nationwide support scheme for economically underdeveloped regions which will do justice to all federal states and consider existing funding/ subsidy gaps between Germany and its neighbouring states. Future structural support shall be opended up for broader application and allocation of resources. Apart from the already known tools, such factors as productivity enhancement, digitisation, securing skilled personnel, broad band coverage and, above all, an increased promotion of entrepreneurial activities in research and development must be focused on. Prof. h.c. Dr. Johannes Weinand, Leiter des Amtes Stadtentwicklung und Statistik, Rathaus Trier 22 We will make sure that there is no divide between towns/ cities and rural regions, that the people in this country will have equal chances of development independent of their place of residence. It is our goal to further strengthen the rural areas and to make regions as well as cities fit

  • Metropolitan Regions As a New Spatial Planning Concept
    STUDIES IN SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT Die Umsetzung des Konzeptes der Metropolregionen in der planerischen Praxis war Hauptthema 8 eines kürzlich an der Universität Tübingen abgeschlossenen Forschungsvorhabens. Zu den zentralen Fragen zählten Chancen, Hemmnisse und Herausforderungen bei der praktischen Umsetzung einer Politik, die auf Verbesserung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Metropolregionen zielt. Bei der hier vor- gestellten umfangreichen empirischen Studie liegt der Schwerpunkt auf dem Umsetzungsprozess in Baden-Württemberg. Dieses Bundesland bietet eine vielfältige Umsetzungslandschaft, die durch eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Ansätze geprägt ist. Dazu zählen sowohl die älteste als auch die jüngste Generation anerkannter Metropolregionen, sowie grenzüberschreitende Einfl ussbereiche. Die Auswertung einer bei den Gemeindeverwaltungen durchgeführten Befragung – in Verbindung mit ausführlichen Interviews mit sonstigen Akteuren und Planungsbehörden – ermöglicht Einblick in einen dynamischen Prozess und weist auf signifi kante Unterschiede sowohl bei der Planung als auch bei der Umsetzung hin. Erkennbar wird eine beträchtliche Lücke zwischen Theorie und Praxis, vor allem im Bereich der fl exiblen Geometrien und bei den Strukturen der metropolitan governance. Die zunehmende Diskrepanz zwischen Funktions- und Verwaltungsräumen führt zu Tendenzen der Metropolitan Regions and Spatial Development Überdimensionierung und zu Marginalisierungsängsten. Bei dem vorgesehenen Konzept der groß- fl ächigen Verantwortungsgemeinschaften fehlte es für die Akteure

  • Action Plan for Cross-Border Cooperation Between Rostock and Guldborgsund Along the Scandria® Corridor
    ACTION PLAN for cross-border cooperation between Hansestadt Rostock and Guldborgsund Municipality along the Scandria® corridor Action plan for cross-border cooperation between Rostock and Guldborgsund along the Scandria® corridor I. Introduction Rostock and Guldborgsund have intentionally cooperated from the early 1990s on. Both municipalities decided to officially enter a durable twinning partnership with effect of November 2014. Thus, this new twinning will unite the Hanseatic City of Rostock (about 203,000 inhabitants) with the municipality Guldborgsund with about 61,000 inhabitants. Priority development aim of the Hanseatic City of Rostock is to become a regiopolis region in the Baltic Sea Region. Thus, Rostock and the surrounding county plus interactional area Ribnitz-Damgarten form a regiopolis region1 with about 450,000 inhabitants. This region generates centripetal forces which give the regiopolis region Rostock a particular role within the metropolis triangle Copenhagen, Hamburg and Berlin. Priority development aim of Guldborgsund Municipality is to utilize its position in the South Baltic Sea and along the transport corridors E 55 and E47, to cooperate with its neighboring countries and regions for the joint development of job creation and economic growth. Guldborgsund Municipality will therefore cooperate with the Rostock Regiopolis initiative and enter a twinning partnership with Hanseatic City of Rostock. The cooperation between Rostock and Guldborgsund that has tremendously increased from 1990 on needed only little political incentives; the advantages of neighborly cooperation spoke for themselves. Rostock and Guldborgsund have been unified by their good location over years; the neighbours are located only 52 km waterways away from each other, the regions’ inhabitants live up to the same values and are aware of the advantages of such a neighbourhood.
