Session 19: Sustainable Regional and

Venue: Glashaus
Chair: Bernd Scholl, Institute for Spatial and

The economical use of land is the key aspect of every
sustainable Spatial Planning and Development strategy.
Central European countries facing stagnating or even
decreasing population are still struggling to limit further
expansion of settlement areas.
Countries like Switzerland and Germany are currently
adopting a Spatial Development strategy, which allows combining
economic growth and limitation of settlement areas
in a mid- and long-term perspective. This shall be achieved
via the principle of “internal development before external
development”, via regional land management, and complementary
city networks. In a co-operative project between
several regional planning authorities in the southwest of
Germany, ministries of the state of Baden-Württemberg, the
canton Basel-Landschaft, the university of Karlsruhe and as
lead the professorship for spatial development at the Swiss
Federal Institute of Technology are inventing cross-border
sustainable regional land management .
