Raumplaner*innen setzen sich mit Perspektiven auseinander, die Lebensqualität und zukünftige Entwicklung von Städten und Regionen betreffen und von gesellschaftlicher Relevanz sind. Basierend auf unterschiedlichen institutionellen und kulturellen Rahmenbedingungen sind Planungssysteme mit vergleichbaren Merkmalen entstanden. Diese Systeme sind an die jeweiligen kulturellen, normativen und räumlichen Voraussetzungen angepasst. In diesem Artikel präsentieren wir eine vergleichende Untersuchung, um Veränderungen in Planungskulturen aufzuzeigen im Kontext schrumpfender Städte in den USA, in Deutschland, und in Japan. Die Ergebnisse ermöglichen mit Blick auf Schrumpfungsprozesse Interdependenzen zwischen Veränderungen in Planungskulturen und gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen aufzuzeigen und Planungskulturen aus dem Blickwinkel der Refiguration von Räumen zu beleuchten. Schlussfolgernd stellen wir die Hypothese auf, dass Planungskulturen entsprechend einer polykontexturalen Logik durch eine Vielzahl von Faktoren bedingt werden, wie zum Beispiel geografische Einheiten (Staaten, Regionen, Städte) und auch Themen wie Stadtschrumpfung.

"Compelling and engaging, this Handbook on Shrinking Cities addresses the fundamentals of shrinkage, exploring its causal factors, the ways in which planning strategies and policies are steered, and innovative solutions for revitalising shrinking cities. It analyses the multidimensional phenomena involved in processes of shrinkage, where cities experience a dramatic decline in their economic and social bases. Offering a timely response to the endurance of decline in cities across the globe, contributions from top scholars showcase a wide range of perspectives on the ongoing challenges of shrinkage. Chapters cover topics of 'governance', 'greening' and 'right-sizing', and 'regrowth', laying the relevant groundwork for the Handbook's proposals for dealing with shrinkage in the age of COVID-19 and beyond. Leading experts in the fields of urban and regional development contribute novel ideas pertinent to the future of shrinking cities, considering factors such as economic prosperity, liveability, social stability, and innovation, ultimately representing a paradigmatic shift from growth-centred planning to the notion of 'shrinking sustainably'. In suggesting strategies to reverse decline and generate newer, more robust development, this prescient Handbook will prove beneficial to scholars of human geography and urban planning. The wide range of case studies will also make this a vital read for planning practitioners"--
