T1  - New urbanism in US-amerikanischen Stadtregionen : ein effektives Planungskonzept gegen Urban Sprawl?
T1  - New Urbanism in US-American Urban Regions. An effective planning tool against Urban Sprawl?
N2  - The research project examines Urban Sprawl in the United States and evaluates the alternative planning concept New Urbanism on a regional and local scale. The combination of qualitative and quantitative data sources explores the effectiveness of regional planning agencies on a macro level, as well as the success of mixed-use neighborhoods on a micro level. The results are based on three cities of the United States (Atlanta, Denver, and Portland), 80 qualitative interviews with urban experts, and over 160 questionnaires with residents of three New Urbanism neighborhoods (Riverside, Atlanta; Prospect, Denver; Orenco Station, Portland). The thesis shows and explains the challenges facing contemporary metropolitan areas and neighborhood development projects, the role and impact that public administrations and other policy makers have in this field, as well as how economic decisions on a local, regional, and global level can shape, change and develop urban landscapes. A central argument is that only superordinated regional planning authorities will be able to contain urban sprawl and to face its related complex socio-economic, administrative, and environmental problems. Also, New Urbanism neighborhoods can only be successful on a micro level when they are embedded in an all-embracing and socially well-balanced regional plan. This integrative two-way perspective from a macro and a micro level can enable us to understand urban structures, processes and problems in a more comprehensive way.

T1  - U.S. and German Approaches to Regulating Retail Development: Urban Planning Tools and Local Policies
T1  - Standortplanung im Einzelhandel in den USA und in Deutschland: Steuerungselemente und Standortpolitik
N2  - This dissertation examines retail development regulation in the U.S. and in Germany, comparing the various urban planning tools and policies in use by municipal governments. These similarities and differences are explored through research into three case study cities in each country, with special attention paid to how these governments regulate large-scale or "big box" retail.
N2  - Diese Dissertation untersucht die Standortplanung im Einzelhandel in den USA und in Deutschland. In den USA wie auch in Deutschland gibt es eine Raumplanung auf staatlicher Ebene und auf der Ebene der Länder- bzw. Bundesstaaten und der Kommunen, deren jeweiligen Möglichkeiten der Steuerung sehr unterschiedlich sind. Diese Unterschiede werden in der Dissertation vorgestellt. Anschließend werden anhand von jeweils drei Beispielen in den beiden Ländern die spezifischen stadtplanerischen Instrumente und Möglichkeiten der Steuerung unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Ansiedlung von großflächigen Einzelhändlern und Einkaufszentren untersucht und dargestellt.
