“…However, Crang and Thrift (2000) correctly remark that ‘different disciplines do space differently’, referring to the by-now diverse field of theories and approaches. In German social science and humanities, Kessl and Reutlinger (2010a) have enriched the educational discourse by adopting Martina Löw’s (2001; 2016) sociological work and her concept of space. Löw’s concept of space provided one of the most influential German language sociological works in recent years and served as a catalyst for analyses on (adult) education and learning through a spatial lens (for more on spatial issues in the German adult education discourse, see e.g.…”

“…Gieseke, 2012) and doing so without reducing it to a macroeconomic policy regime issue. Furthermore, whereas the works by Löw (2001; 2016) play a prominent role in the German discourse, other approaches, like that of Werlen, are – relatively speaking – neglected, albeit they are, as has been argued, particularly suitable for the topic of regions. This will be illustrated by the following piece of empirical research.…”

Comparing places represents one of the most traditional threads of comparative inquiry. However, international and comparative (adult) education research has to date focused on comparing places more in the sense of territorial entities. In contrast, this paper moves away from understandings of national or regional territories as given, container-like units, criticised as methodological nationalism. It draws instead on theoretical approaches of social spatiality and, in particular, on Werlen’s works on action-centred geography. Findings of qualitative research on organisations providing adult education in two cross-border regions at Germany’s territorial periphery serve as an empirical framework, analysing the programme planning activities of their managerial staff. The paper argues that it is the pedagogical actions and practices of these professionals, rather than the territorial entities, that become the tertium comparationis, eliciting the professionals’ share in the overall process of (re)producing social space and, ultimately, territory.

“…Urbanism, therefore, is not only a product of architecture, but of a synthesis of patterns of experience of stakeholders and their perception of quality of life (cf. Löw 2001Löw , 2008. In the tradition of social interactionism, there could be a sharper profiling of the mechanism by which shared knowledge is produced through communicative action and by which construction planning is negotiated dynamically (cf.…”

Abstract. Sustainable Urban Planning has to be understood as a communicative process connecting city architecture, technology, city district management and social infrastructure of neighbourhoods. The focus on sustainability raises the question of the necessary discourse conditions that allow architects and city planners enter into a dialogue with other urban stakeholders, citizens, local administrators and politicians, and discuss which cultural heritage should be preserved and where sustainability takes precedence. Looking at the style of discourse in urban communication brings also its socio-cultural modalities into focus. At the intersection of communication and discourse studies, urban ecology and sociology, the article focuses on the growing interest in architectural communication and, taking current approaches as a starting point, seeks to clarify which conversational maxims and discourse requirements by mediation, moderation, and integration are promising for achieving a new urban quality.

“…As theories on spatial organization suggest, it is not so much socio-economic indicators such as income, household size or age but rather the influence of social background and life-styles that influence urban sprawl [31]. The impact population density has depends mainly upon the organization of society in space which is regarded rather as a qualitative indicator than just the quantity and intensity of land use [22].…”

As the current growth economy has created severe environmental pollution and unbalanced distribution of prosperity, there is an increasing amount of critical voices calling for a change. The new concept of degrowth addresses a fundamental change in political, economic and institutional levels underpinning different norms and values towards sustainability. Spatial planning institutions have a decisive role in the transition process insofar as they take decisions regarding the use of land and its attributed space. Especially in three areas spatial planning has influential potentials to stimulate the transition process towards degrowth by enhancing: (i) a sustainable use of renewable energy sources; (ii) sustainable settlement structures; and (iii) the creation of social capital by more community based facilities. The paper explores these possibilities for intervention and shows how spatial planning can have positive impacts on degrowth.
