Therefore prevention is very important in the community of Delmenhorst. The city of Delmenhorst has undertaken the task of avoiding injuries caused by accidents and violence by means of systematic precaution as far as possible. A successful prevention is the precondition for a cross-departmental and systematical approach. The prevention must not only include the reaction to the current occurrences, but must also include a comprehensive and systematic long-term, active strategy. With the report on hand “accreditation of the city of Delmenhorst as safe community” the community of Delmenhorst applies for the acceptance to the international network of the “Safe Communities”. The stakeholders in Delmenhorst would like to learn from the experiences of other countries and they want to provide the international community with their knowledge regarding prevention.

  • Visions Or Projects: Urban Regeneration Strategies in Cottbus and Görlitz (Eastern Germany)
    Manfred Kühn Visions or projects: urban regeneration strategies 43rd ISOCARP Congress 2007 Visions or projects: urban regeneration strategies in Cottbus and Görlitz (Eastern Germany) The leading question of this paper is: how are urban strategies able to reconcile differences between long-term visions and short-term action and between whole-city-frameworks and area-based interventions. Which approaches are suitable to overcome the gap between visions and projects? This question will be discussed by two empirical cases of strategies for urban regeneration in the post-socialistic context of Eastern Germany. The city of Cottbus represents an urban planning type with a focus on visioning process. The city of Görlitz represents an urban planning type with a focus on project-implementation. The paper is a first provisional result of the research project “Strategic urban planning – approaches for regeneration of shrinking cities in Eastern Germany”. The project is founded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, it began in May 2007 and will run to April 2009. 1. Concepts of Strategic planning At the end of the 1990s, planning theory proclaimed a “revival of strategic planning” (Salet, Faludi 2000) in Europe. Strategic urban planning is often seen as a suitable approach for the regeneration of cities in decline (Albrechts 2004, Sartorio 2005: 28). Among the most popular examples of managing the change of former industrial cities into post-industrial, service- or knowledge-based cities through strategic urban plans in European cities were Barcelona, Manchester, Glasgow and Rotterdam. In addition, urban regeneration theory and practice in the United Kingdom is based substantially on the concept of strategic planning as an approach that integrates visions and action (Roberts, Sykes 2000).
