abstract = {The development of town planning is being intensively
discussed in German planning literature. Numerous studies
produced results, which are often only loosely connected.
Whether these findings are representative of how planning as
a whole develops or only reflect the specific working
context of these studies, remains unclear. Therefore, this
dissertation aims at consolidating the knowledge of town
planning in practice. In 14 big cities the influence of town
planners on how the land may be used in areas with
residential functions is described and analysed. Central
hypotheses developed in contemporary literature of planning
are compared with the planning practice in these cities.
Several articles in planning literature are discussing a
shrinking influence of plannings’ legal instruments.
Different authors give as a reason that laws have changed,
that planners give up using certain instruments or that new
tasks evolved. Other authors point at the continuing
development of planning law. The case studies show the broad
use of plannings’ legal instruments in practice. At the
same time, the study reveals the difficulties of evaluating
the assertiveness of planning authorities. Another
hypothesis found in contemporary literature of planning
describes a shrinking financial influence of town planning
authorities as a result of a financial crisis of local
authorities in Germany. At the same time, the efficiency of
using the financial resources is being controversially
discussed. The case studies do not confirm the thesis that
planners influence is diminuating due to reduced financial
funds. The decline of available financial resources differs
in various cities. At the same time, planning authorities
try to find new financial sources for their work and develop
new working methods and administrative structures to be more
efficient. One hypothesis in planning literature assumes
that cooperative methods are increasing. The case studies
show a multitude of different forms of cooperation and
closely analyses cooperation between planning authorities
and private developers. The study shows that new legal
instruments allow both planning authorities and private
developers to expand their influence on areas formerly
decided unilaterally by one of both parties. At the same
time, the study reveals that negotiations take place even
without legally binding agreements. Closely connected to
this discussion is another hypothesis, which describes a
growing number of informal plans. These informal plans are
either seen as a substitute or an addition to formal plans.
The case studies illustrate the extensive use of informal
plans in planning practice. At the same time it becomes
clear, that these plans are mostly an addition to formal
plans, although some shifts in function between formal and
informal plans become visible. The study also discusses the
hypothesis, that planning practice is putting more emphasis
on the realisation of plans than it did in the past. The
case studies show that there is a widespread practice of
influencing the realisation of plans. Besides some new legal
instruments, the influence is mainly achieved through public
companies and through economic intervention in the land
property market. Planning literature also often describes a
development, in which planning no longer deals with the
whole area of a city. The case studies show, that a
reduction of plans for the whole city is not to be found.
There is also no evidence to prove that financial resources
and attention are more and more concentrated on certain
points of the city. The dissertation shows the practice of
town planning in several cities and confirms some
hypothesis, proves some hypothesis wrong and puts others
into perspective. Finally, some questions, which could not
be answered in this study, are summed up.},
