Unterrichtspraktiken und soziale Beziehungen in den Schulen werden nicht zuletzt durch die vorherrschenden Gebäudestrukturen geprägt. Dieser Aspekt ist besonders relevant, wenn es um die Modernisierung historischer Schulgebäude geht.Doch wie kann eine Modernisierung geplant werden, die Fehlentwicklungen vermeidet und langfristig tragfähige Strategien ermöglicht? Maja Lorbek stellt die Szenario-Entwicklung als Planungsinstrument zur Schulmodernisierung vor. Anhand einiger Szenarien - wie etwa dem des »Kontrollierten Schulmarkts«, welches ein Schulsystem ohne staatliches Bildungsmonopol beschreibt, oder dem der »Differenzierten Schule« als Darstellung der Folgen bisheriger Praxis - wird die Tragfähigkeit des Instruments diskutiert.

For some years, increased attention has been paid to the single-family housing stock in Germany and the further designation of building land by municipalities. A Germany-wide anonymous survey of municipalities sheds light on the municipalities' land management strategies with regard to declining populations and their anticipation of future problems for the further use of the single-family housing stock. The results of the quantitative survey are supplemented by qualitative interviews with municipal experts from case studies that were selected on the basis of criteria such as population decline, old-age dependency ratio, the share of single-family homes and vacancy rates. The aims of the survey and the interviews are to assess municipal representatives' perceptions of population decline and of the necessity of undertaking measures to deal with shrinkage. Research questions are: What measures do municipalities consider appropriate to counter population loss and falling demand for housing in shrinking regions? How important are single-family housing areas in the perception of German municipalities? The results indicate that a continued designation of building land seems to be one of the most important measures used to cope with insufficient demand. The aim is to attract new inhabitants, particularly to shrinking cities. However, this approach reinforces current problems because it lowers demand for the housing stock and increases the risk of vacancies.
