  • 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.

    „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.
