Mega projects have been an essential form of urban development and planning in western societies since the post-war period. Nevertheless, there is a lack of planning theory on these projects that would acknowledge international mega project research and social science approaches, but also have independent relevance. As a contribution to the formation of such a theory, the proposed research project will empirically review the central findings of mega project research, which is usually related to (transport) infrastructure projects, for their transferability to inner-city planning areas, urban plan-making and its effects as well as local political discourses and decision making. It will also generate insights on the importance of local planning culture and city size. For this purpose, the research project focuses on the often conflicting discourses about the effectiveness and consequences of mega projects between cost-benefit calculations, public opinion and urban design issues. The different arguments, formulated ex ante in the context of complex decision-making and enforcement processes, will be subject to an ex-post evaluation. An empirical mixed-methods approach is designed to create both broad and deep insights through a systematic survey of mega project planning in German cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants between 1990 and 2019, as well as an exemplary focus on nine individual case studies.

自战后以来，大型项目一直是西方社会城市发展和规划的重要形式。然而，缺乏对这些项目的规划理论，承认国际大型项目研究和社会科学方法，但也有独立的相关性。作为这样一个理论的形成的贡献，拟议的研究项目将实证审查的大型项目研究，这通常是相关的（交通）基础设施项目，其可转移到内城规划区，城市规划制定及其影响，以及当地的政治话语和决策的中心结果。它还将产生对当地规划文化和城市规模的重要性的见解。为此，该研究项目的重点是经常冲突的话语之间的成本效益计算，公众舆论和城市设计问题的巨型项目的有效性和后果。在复杂的决策和执行过程中事先提出的不同论点将受到事后评价。一种经验性的混合方法旨在通过对1990年至2019年期间超过50，000名居民的德国城市的大型项目规划进行系统调查，以及对9个单独案例研究的示范性关注，创造广泛而深刻的见解。
