The discourse on the compatibility of planned inner-city shopping-malls. Calculative practices of knowledge-production and governmentalities of urban development in the inner-city of Mainz

该项目以美因茨市正在进行的规划冲突为例，分析了与规划中的大型内城购物中心相关的兼容性话语。正如我们自己的初步调查所显示的那样，兼容性已经发展成为争论的中心概念--对于异构规范。所要求的案例研究分析了这些不同的话语框架的兼容性和它们的影响，特别是考虑到专家意见的作用，城市规划冲突。兼容性的概念意味着存在一个规范性框架，如何发展内城：只有在城市发展的具体概念方法方面，才能确定规划的购物中心在多大程度上与目标发展道路相兼容。该项目的第一个目标是详细说明管理城市规划进程的合理性，这些进程构成了关于兼容性的讨论。其次，该项目分析了在冲突中寻找解决方案的专家话语中的计算性实践的影响。第三，这两个方面都汇集在一起，以综合发展的城市发展的政治理性的背景下，计划的内城购物中心的兼容性的话语。实证方法是基于话语分析的语料库组成的公民参与，政策文件和报告，城市发展的概念，以及半结构化的采访，以文件专家的意见。

The project analyses discourses of compatibility related to planned large-scale inner city shopping centres using the example of an ongoing planning conflict in the city of Mainz. As own preliminary investigations show, compatibility has evolved to a central concept of the debate - with heterogeneous specifications. The requested case study analyses these diverse discoursive framings of compatibility and their effects on the urban planning conflict especially taking into consideration the role of expert opinion. The concept of compatibility implies the existence of a normative framework how inner cities should develop: Only with respect to specific conceptual approaches to urban development it can be determined to what extent a planned shopping centre is compatible with the targeted development path. Conceptually grounded in studies of governmentality, the project first aims at a detailed description of the rationalities of governing urban planning processes that structure the discourse on compatibility. Second, the project analyses the implications of calculative practices in expert discourses for finding solutions in the conflict. Third, both aspects are brought together in order to synthesize the development of political rationalities of urban development in the context of the discourse on the compatibility of planned inner-city shopping centres. The empirical approach is based on a discourse analysis of a corpus consisting of minutes of civic participation, policy documents and reports, urban development concepts as well as semi-structured interviews to document experts opinions.
