Raumentwicklung 3.0

More about the book

The ARL Young Professionals' Forum convened in Hannover from June 6-8, 2012, to explore the future of spatial planning under the theme "Spatial Development 3.0." This conference aimed to highlight how digital social networks and online interactions are reshaping spatial development. The emergence of new information and communication technologies is altering behaviors and significantly influencing spatial development in various dimensions. While the impact of these technologies is a key focus, the conference also addressed broader challenges facing spatial planning. Central questions guiding the discussions included: What challenges and opportunities will spatial planning encounter in the future? What trends are prompting planners to adopt innovative approaches? Which normative concepts can meet current and future spatial planning needs? How should spatial planning processes be structured to effectively address these challenges? Additionally, the purpose of spatial planning and the guiding principles it should follow were examined. Participants engaged in presentations and discussions to tackle these questions, and the insights gained are compiled in the papers presented in this publication.
