City-regional, participation-oriented landscape policy 'in the making': a discourse-theoretical, praxeological perspective

德国对住房的需求持续存在，特别是在受欢迎的大城市。这导致了建造新住房的压力，不仅通过内部开发和填补缺口，而且还通过城市郊区的新大型住宅区。早在六十年代至八十年代，很多地方都兴建了大型屋苑，由於其单一功能的结构，部分已发展为社会问题社区，有时亦会从气候和环保的角度作出负面评价。在这些经验的背景下，现在将实现其他表面上更好的项目：密集，但绿色，并融入周围景观；包容各方，基于全面的参与性规划方法；功能和社会混合；气候中立和节约资源；具有较短距离和环境友好的交通选择。在这里申请的项目中，重点是(A)将新的大型住宅区嵌入城市-区域景观结构和(B)包容性、参与型规划。其目的是调查哪些话语结构和实践被用来构建和操作相应的归因，但也对它们提出质疑和批评。通过这种方式，重点是城市-区域景观的社会建设，强有力的包容和排除以及政治谈判进程。它将分析如何处理一方面以增长和投资回报为导向的规划和建设政策与另一方面对环境友好和参与性开发郊区景观的关切之间的紧张关系。该项目基于对景观治理的广泛理解。理论框架包括后结构主义话语理论和治理理论，并结合行为学的研究方法。将在法兰克福、弗赖堡、汉堡和慕尼黑进行多阶段案例研究。第一套工作是探索性和话语分析，政治规划文件和媒体报道--辅之以个人和团体访谈、实地访问和初步观察--将用于审查关于霸权主义和反霸权主义话语和做法的城市-区域景观和参与话语。在此基础上，第二个工作包选择了当时发生的六个规划情节，并从行为学的角度对它们进行了审查。在这里，将使用民族志、参与性的方法。第三个工作包包括理论构建和分析，而第四个工作包则致力于研究者的自我反思。

There is a continuing demand for housing in Germany, especially in popular large cities. This results in pressure to create new housing, not only through internal development and gap fill, but also through new large housing estates on the outskirts of cities. Already in the 1960s to 1980s, large housing estates were built in many places, which due to their mono-functional structure have in part developed into social problem neighbourhoods and are also sometimes judged negatively from the point of view of climate and environmental protection. Against the backdrop of these experiences, other, ostensibly better projects are now to be realised: dense, but green and integrated into the surrounding landscape; inclusive and based on comprehensive participatory planning approaches; functionally and socially mixed; climate-neutral and resource-saving; with short distances and environmentally friendly mobility options. In the project applied for here, the focus is on the aspects of (a) the embedding of new large housing estates in urban-regional landscape structures and (b) inclusive, participation-oriented planning. The aim is to investigate which discursive structures and practices are used to construct and operationalise the corresponding attributions, but also to question and criticise them. In this way, the focus is on the social construction of city-regional landscapes, on powerful inclusions and exclusions as well as on political negotiation processes. It will analyse how the tensions between planning and building policies oriented towards growth and return on investment on the one hand and the concern for an environmentally friendly and participatory development of suburban landscapes on the other hand are dealt with. The project is based on a broad understanding of landscape governance. The theoretical framing consists of poststructuralist discourse and governmentality theories in combination with praxeological approaches. Multi-stage case studies will be conducted in Frankfurt a. M., Freiburg, Hamburg and Munich. In the first work package, which is an exploratory and discourse analysis, political planning documents and media reports – supplemented by individual and group interviews, site visits and initial observations – will be used to examine city-regional landscape and participation discourses with regard to hegemonic and counter-hegemonic discourses and practices. Building on this, the second work package selects six planning episodes occurring at the time and examines them from a praxeological point of view. Here, ethnographic, participatory methods will be used. The third work package consists of theory building and analysis, whereas the fourth work package is dedicated to the researchers' self-reflection.
