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。正如我自己的初步调查所显示的，兼容性已经演变成争论的中心概念——异构规范。所要求的案例研究分析了这些不同的兼容性话语框架及其对城市规划冲突的影响，特别是考虑到专家意见的作用。兼容性的概念意味着内城应该如何发展的规范框架的存在：只有考虑到城市发展的具体概念方法，才能确定规划的购物中心在多大程度上与目标发展路径兼容。该项目在概念上以治理研究为基础，首先旨在详细描述治理城市规划过程的合理性，这些过程构成了关于兼容性的论述。其次，该项目分析了专家话语中计算实践对寻找冲突解决方案的影响。第三，将这两个方面结合在一起，以综合城市发展的政治合理性的发展，在关于规划的内城购物中心的兼容性的话语的背景下。实证方法基于对语料库的话语分析，该语料库由公民参与、政策文件和报告、城市发展概念以及记录专家意见的半结构化访谈组成。

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.
