Zur Projekt-Website

Debates on urban planning and governance give the impression that the shift of planning paradigms towards participatory and effective planning practices has been completed in Western European contexts, and is increasingly rooted in post-socialist countries. However, empirical research on the local level and its actors indicate important deficiencies and differences with regard to the scope and quality of planning paradigm change. This equally concerns cities in Western and Eastern Europe, which is not yet reflected in academic literature and public debates. The project addresses this issue, and provides an interdisciplinary comparative analysis of local stakeholders' specific urban planning concepts, including their relatedness to the centrally debated planning principles of participation and effectiveness. The concepts' translation into real planning and decision-making processes in Russia, Ukraine and Germany finally constitutes the project's main research focus. Thus, the project strives to gain insight into the shift or persistence of local planning paradigms and their causes; and to reveal and reflect challenges and chances for participatory and effective planning processes in diverse European contexts.
