The German Energy Transition and climate change in urban development. Between discursive goals and actual practices

气候变化和能源转型是目前城市面临的主要挑战之一，影响到几乎所有的公共活动领域。表面上看，许多政治声明似乎都赞同适应和变革的必要性，但实际执行情况在各个城市却大相径庭。拟议的项目抓住了气候意识和节能城市规划的政治话语与当地实际做法的实施之间的紧张关系。从政治地理学的角度来看，研究集中在一个问题上，为什么气候和能源相关目标的实施进展如此不同，以及可以通过哪些权力-知识-关系来解释这一点。借鉴话语和治理理论，两个城市进行了分析，其中能源和气候政治的规范已经找到了他们的方式进入政治行动，以非常不同的程度。首先是明斯特，它因其生态和气候政策而获得了多个奖项，其次是德累斯顿，它没有参与认证计划和生态奖项，迄今为止在实现能源和气候相关目标方面几乎没有明显的行动。在分析中，地方主角的做法被概念化为知识体系的影响，这些知识体系是在不同规模和不同规模之间以及政府技术（福柯意义上）上构成的。系统地适用机构制作的文本的语料库分析方法以及捕捉当地行为者的理性和问题感知的定性方法。有了这个重点和实证方法，该项目有助于回答这个问题，政治内容如何传播，它们如何在当地被采用和转化，以及为什么政治目标在当地环境中的实施方式非常不同。该项目一方面侧重于话语-文本过程，另一方面侧重于具体的政治和规划实践，特别考虑了谈论/写作事物与实际决策和材料转换之间的紧张关系。

Climate change and the energy transition are currently among the major challenges for cities and affect nearly all communal spheres of activity. While superficially in many political statements there seems to a lot of approval of the necessity for adaptations and transformations, practical implementation advances very differently in individual cities. The proposed project picks up on this tension between political discourse on climate conscious and energy efficient urban planning on the one hand and its implementation in actual local practices on the other. Following a political-geographic perspective, the research centers on the question, why the implementation of climate and energy related targets progresses so differently and by which power-knowledge-relations this can be explained. Drawing on theories of discourse and governmentality, two cities are analyzed, in which norms of energy and climate politics have found their way into political actions to very different degrees. Firstly Münster, which has received several awards for its ecological and climate politics, secondly Dresden, which does not participate in certification programs and ecological awards and has so far shown little palpable actions to implement energy and climate related targets. In the analysis, practices of local protagonists are conceptualized as the effects of systems of knowledge which are constituted on and between different scales as well as technologies of government (in the Foucauldian sense). Methodically both corpus analytical methods of institutionally produced texts as well as qualitative approaches which capture the rationalities and problem perceptions of local actors are applied. With this focus and empirical approach the project contributes to answering the question, how political contents travel, how they are locally adopted and transformed and why political targets are implemented very differently in local contexts. With its empirical focus on discursive-textual processes on the one hand and concrete political and planning practices on the other, the project considers in particular the tension between talking/writing about things and actual decisions and material transformations.
