Metropolitan regions and spatial development: part 4, Metropolitan regions as a new spatial planning concept - aspects of implementation, using the example of South-Western Germany

Abstract: Implementation of the metropolitan region concept in planning practice was the topic of a recent research project carried out at the university of Tübingen. Key questions include how this policy, aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of metropolitan regions, is implemented, what opportunities it offers and what obstacles and challenges have to be overcome. The extensive empirical investigation presented here focuses on the actual implementation process in Baden-Württemberg, which presents a multi-faceted implementation landscape with a variety of different approaches, including the oldest and youngest generation of accredited metropolitan regions as well as cross-border areas of infl uence. The analysis of surveys of community offi cials combined with extensive interviews with stakeholders and planning authorities provides insight into a dynamic process and highlights signifi cant differences in planning and implementation practices. A considerable gap is revealed between planning
