Since the 1980s, a new planning culture has emerged from critical rationalism in urban and village renewal.

The principles of functional separation and expert planning as well as total reconstruction have been replaced by cautious renewal and critical reconstruction - all based on public discourses on urban form and village shape and cultivated in informal framework planning, cooperative competition procedures, urban forums and citizens' expert opinions.

Beyond the urban and rural cores, on the other hand, landscape development is still dominated by functionalist planning procedures. Thus, land uses and infrastructures are developed according to principles of priority areas, taboo and buffer zones, exclusion criteria and distance regulations. Spatial structural concepts are generally lacking, as is a regional public sphere.

This book focuses on the question of how dialogical discourses, models, and procedures on spatial structural qualities from urban and village cores can also be transferred to the planning of rural and suburban areas. The basis for this is a new social contract on landscape.
