Zukunftsfähige Infrastruktur und Raumentwicklung

Meer over het boek

Supply and disposal systems have primarily served a functional role, with technical planners focusing on public services without influencing housing developments. Current challenges stem from aging infrastructure, demographic changes, financial constraints in communities, and increasing environmental protection demands. Future needs will exceed mere maintenance or renewal of existing investments; a thorough inspection of these systems is essential for sustainability, resource efficiency, equitable distribution, and positive impacts on spatial development. This volume analyzes technical and regional economic factors, exploring how various spatial structures affect development. The shared characteristics of these systems lead to analogous conclusions, while the study investigates how technical planning can align more closely with spatial planning. It discusses the practical application of regional planning instruments for supply and disposal systems, the influence of development density, and future material flow management. The conclusion emphasizes the need for coordinated political action and planning control to achieve sustainable infrastructure goals. It highlights the importance of engaging technical experts in contributing to sustainable spatial development, underscoring the collaborative effort required to address these challenges effectively.
