Governance of suburban district developments

新郊区的发展是一个复杂的规划和政治过程。它涉及准备由各种公共和私人行为者制定、谈判和实施的大规模公共和私人投资。在如何做出关于新社区设计的决定方面，存在着相当大的知识缺口。这适用于整个规划和决策过程的治理，特别是市政规划与私人投资者利益之间的关系。鉴于大城市和郊区城市的框架条件不同，人们对规划的治理是否以及如何有所不同知之甚少，这些城市和郊区的大部分定居点开发都在那里进行。该项目的目的是记录德国郊区居民区的发展、规划和实现过程中的治理结构和过程，并促进他们的理解。它将调查在开发、规划和实现新的郊区居民区的复杂过程中，哪些框架条件、由谁、何时以及如何影响和作出决定。在这种背景下，市政规划的治理是指规划的任务或功能最终将许多相关的方面和关注集中在一个规划中。这显然并不意味着只有市政当局(或由它们委托这样做的市政当局)才能指导这一进程。相反，这样做的目的是审查谁参与其中，如何参与，在哪些框架条件下以及在哪些进程中进行。以个案研究的形式，对新的郊区社区的发展星座、结构、主题和冲突议程以及治理进程进行了深入的实证研究。除定量方法外，这些方法主要基于定性方法，特别是对有关专家和参与者的访谈。对大城市的大型郊区社区发展以及城市地区郊区社区的社区发展进行了个案研究。子项目“郊区邻里发展治理”被纳入“新郊区”课题组。在这一组内，它特别与景观政策和住区结构分项目合作，这些分项目与城市区域的水平有同样明显的关系，以及与关于郊区社区的社会结构和家庭生活模式的项目合作，这些项目侧重于社会问题。

The development of new suburban districts is a complex planning and political process. It involves the preparation of large-scale public and private investments that are developed, negotiated and implemented by a variety of public and private actors. There are considerable knowledge deficits about how decisions about the design of new neighbourhoods are made. This applies to the governance of the planning and decision-making process as a whole, and in particular to the relationship between municipal planning and the interests of private investors. And little is known about whether and how the governance of planning differs given the different framework conditions within large cities and suburban municipalities, where much of the settlement development takes place. The aim of the project is to record the structures and processes of governance in the development, planning and realisation of suburban residential neighbourhoods in Germany and to contribute to their understanding. It will be investigated by which framework conditions, by whom, when and how the decisions in the complex processes of development, planning and realisation of new suburban residential neighbourhoods are influenced and made. In this context, the governance of "municipal planning" refers to the task or function of planning to finally bring together the many relevant aspects and concerns in a plan. It is explicitly not meant that only the municipalities (or those commissioned by them to do so) steer this process. Rather, the aim is to examine who is involved and how, under which framework conditions and in which processes this takes place. In the form of case studies in-depth empirical studies on the development constellations, structures, thematic and conflict agendas as well as governance processes of new suburban neighbourhoods are conducted. In addition to quantitative methods, these are based primarily on qualitative methods, especially interviews with the respective experts and participants. The case studies are conducted on large suburban neighbourhood developments in large cities as well as on neighbourhood developments in suburban communities of city regions. The sub-project "Governance of Suburban Neighbourhood Developments" is integrated into the research group "New Suburbanity". Within this group, it cooperates in particular with the sub-projects on landscape policy and settlement structure, which are equally distinctly related to the level of the city region, as well as with the projects on the social structures of suburban neighbourhoods and the living models of households, which focus on social issues.
