Managing potential impacts and uncertainties of high-speed rail access at local level: Insights from four German cities
This paper empirically investigates how local actors manage potential impacts and uncertainties associated with a new high-speed rail (HSR) access. The provision of such supra-regional transport infrastructure offers significant benefits to accessed cities and regions. However, the main challenge lies in transforming the potentials into actual local impacts. We conducted expert interviews in four German cities equipped with HSR stations to examin…
Understanding land take by low-density residential areas: An institutionalist perspective on local planning authorities, developers and households
Using a case study design, the study focuses on identifying the institutional configuration that determines land take by low-density residential areas. Methodologically, it combines geospatial approaches and new institutionalism to capture and understand residential development, taking into account the interests, constraints and agency of local planning authorities, developers and households. The geospatial analysis shows that land take in the ca…
Planning systems on the move? persistence and change of the German planning system
The paper addresses the relationship of planning systems and related processes of institutional change. It evaluates the persistence and change of the German planning system with a focus on recent impacts of Europeanisation. It shows that the ability to transform institutional patterns of spatial planning in Germany is rather limited. The German planning system has not undergone revolutionary shifts during the last five decades, but it is ‘by-pas…
Understanding metropolitan growth in German polycentric urban regions
The paper investigates the peculiarities of polycentric urban regions (PURs) in generating agglomeration economies, namely, the question of how urbanisation externalities – size, density and diversity – take effect in German PURs and influence the growth of metropolitan functions from 1995 to 2017. The metropolitan growth of PURs is compared with that of urban regions showing a dominant core. We use our findings to address questions about the for…
Polycentric regions: Proposals for a new typology and terminology
‘Polycentricity on a regional scale’, or in short the ‘polycentric region’ (PR), is a key concept in both urban and regional research and planning. But the term is used in many different ways, making it an overstretched concept unsuitable for drawing normative conclusions from. This article highlights the fact that, beyond the lowest common denominator – PRs consist of several centres (‘poly’ = many) and are situated on a regional scale (‘region’…
Specialization of and complementarities between (new) knowledge clusters in the Frankfurt/Rhine-Main urban region
This paper contributes to the discussion about the driving forces behind the polycentric restructuring of urban regions involving a centripetal process of metropolization and a centrifugal process leading to a regionalization of cities. Using the Frankfurt/Rhine-Main urban region in Germany as an example, it analyzes how these processes are manifested in the regional spatial structure. Two different empirical explorations are applied to reveal th…
