Summary:

Städtische und ländliche Regionen unterliegen gleichermaßen einer starken Dynamik. Hinzu kommt, dass sich auch das Verständnis davon, was Stadt und Land ausmacht, verändert. Metapolis steht für ein Netzwerk städtischer und ländlicher Siedlungen, die durch Menschen-, Waren- und Informationsströme miteinander verbunden sind. Wie lässt sich eine solche Metapolis begreifen und nachhaltig weiterentwickeln? Am Beispiel zweier Untersuchungsregionen in Niedersachsen – einem Bundesland, geprägt von wenigen Großstädten und überwiegend mittleren und kleinen Städten, Vororten und Dörfern – stellt das vorliegende Buch einen innovativen Analyserahmen namens Topoi vor. Er bietet eine neue Perspektive auf die Entwicklung von Stadt und Land. Anhand verschiedener Szenarien werden innovative Lösungen im Sinne einer nachhaltigen Planung und Gestaltung im Bereich des Stadt-Land-Gradienten untersucht.

Urban and rural areas alike witness severe dynamics. Moreover, understandings of what constitutes the urban and the rural are changing, too. Metapolis conceptualizes the network of urban and rural settlements interconnected by flows of people, goods, and information. How can this Metapolis be understood and evolve in a more sustainable manner? By example of two study regions in Lower Saxony—a federal state of Germany consisting of few large cities, mostly mid-sized and small towns, suburbs, and villages—this volume presents an innovative analytical framework called Topoi, offering a new perspective on urban-rural development. Different scenarios explore innovative solutions for sustainable planning and design along the urban-rural gradient.
