Die Mobilitätswende in Deutschland stößt vor allem bei Pendelnden in den Umlandkommunen deutscher Stadtregionen auf Widerstand. Eine siedlungsstrukturelle Autoabhängigkeit kann in einer alternden Gesellschaft allerdings zum Standortrisiko für soziale Teilhabe werden. Der Beitrag demonstriert am Beispiel der Stadtregion Freiburg, dass nachhaltige St...
Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Urbanisierung, Klimakrise und demografischer Wandel stellen Herausforderungen für die Lebensqualität und die Gesundheit der Stadtbevölkerung dar. Ein Konzept der gesundheitsorientierten Stadtplanung ist die sog. „Walkability“, d. h. eine fußgängerfreundlich gestaltete Umwelt. Ziel der Studie war es, einen Ist-Zustand de...
The International Congress on Proximity Planning (June 26 - 28, 2024) has presented original research papers that explore the thematic and empirical challenges and opportunities that arise in the application of proximity-based planning in cities. Proximity is a planning principle with a tradition of more than a century, recently revived by circumst...
Perceptions of the environment shape individual mobility decisions and represent the ‘lived reality’ of accessibility and walkability. Yet recent common walkability analyses and instruments try to include perceptions of different population groups without integrating them into practical tools. However, there is a need for a holistic tool as a basis...
This dissertation emphasises the challenges posed by global migration and urban expansion in the 21st century, highlighting their impact on sustainable development in cities. It acknowledges that cities are central to both the manifestation of problems and the development of solutions. This thesis explores the potential of new technical potentials,...
Fußgängerfreundliche und bewegungsanimierende Stadtstrukturen (Walkability) bieten Menschen die Möglichkeit, ihre alltäglichen Wege zu Fuß statt mit dem Pkw zurückzulegen. Eine aktive körperliche Mobilität fördert die Gesundheit und gilt als Voraussetzung für vitale nachbarschaftliche Sozialstrukturen. Der Einsatz datenbasierter Walkability-Bewertu...
The Monitoring of City Regions by ILS – Research Institute for Regional and Urban Development gGmbH Dortmund (ILS) discusses spatial and structural preconditions in German city regions for the management of current crises. The focus is on disruptions of the corona pandemic, the challenges of climate adaptation, and spatially and socially just forms...
Changes in the accessibility of a city – for example, due to the connection to the long-distance rail network for the first time – not only affect transport demand but can also have catalytic effects on urban development. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study presented in this paper investigates whether long-distance rail stations in Germany be...
Introduction
This paper introduces OS-WALK-EU, a new open-source walkability assessment tool developed specifically for urban neighbourhoods and using open-source spatial data. A free and open-source tool, OS-WALK-EU is accessible to the general public. It uses open data available worldwide and free online services to compute accessibility, while a...
In the context of increasing mobility in recent decades, numerous studies have analysed the impact of migration on urban spaces. International immigration is mainly concentrated in certain urban areas, with these so‐called arrival spaces offering important opportunities for migrants to gain a foothold in their new surroundings. However, the current...
In 2020, the mayor of Paris announced the ambitious goal to redesign the city for pedestrians to reach amenities and facilities for daily use within a 15-minute walk. Other cities, such as Melbourne or Portland, have also set themselves this goal. This objective has propelled older initiatives to improve the walkability and pedestrian friendliness...
Since 1990, urbanization in post-socialist countries has frequently resulted in a loss of urban density in the existing building stock while land use patterns at the outskirts of growing city regions began to sprawl. Formerly state-planned and controlled housing forms as well as industrial and business enterprises were suddenly exposed to new marke...
In ILS-IMPULSE 2/21 beschäftigt sich das Autorenteam mit den Entwicklungen der Bodenrichtwerte in NRW-Regionen. Eine Entspannung der überhitzten großstädtischen Boden- und Wohnungsmärkte ist nicht in Sicht. Gestiegene Bodenrichtwerte betreffen längst nicht nur die Zentren, sondern auch städtische Randlagen und das Umland. Das Forscherteam hat dazu...
Walking may be the primary mode to access a railway station, yet the walkability around stations has not been well researched. This paper explores methodologies for assessing walkability in urban areas in close proximity to a railway station. To address both the objective environmental characteristics and subjective aspects of walking, walkability...
The concept of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) aims to develop new residential and commercial areas in regionally integrated sites that provide future residents and employees with good local infrastructure, diversified public spaces and attractive mobility alternatives so that they do not have to use their own car. This paper presents a methodol...
In Nordrhein-Westfalen, wie auch in anderen Bundesländern, gibt es bislang kaum systematische Untersuchungen zum Umfang von Baulandpotenzialen in den Einzugsbereichen des schienengebundenen Regionalverkehrs. In diese Lücke stößt die vorliegende Studie, in dem sie eine flächendeckende Bestandserhebung an 747 Haltestellen in NRW vornimmt.
Welche Potenziale für das urbane Wohnen auf TOD-Flächen (Transit-Oriented Development) bestehen in einem stark urbanisierten und exzellent schienenerschlossenen Bundesland wie NRW? Hierzu wurden in einer aktuellen Studie des ILS die fußläufig erschlossenen Umgebungsräume von 747 Haltepunkten des schienengebundenen Regionalverkehrs inklusive des S-B...
Against the background of tight housing and real estate markets, many local authorities are once again turning their attention to the urban fringe for spatial development. A moderate greenfield development at places that are well integrated into the infrastructure system can be considered as striking a balance between a both environmentally and soc...
Recent decades have been characterized by a rapid and steady urbanization of the global population. This trend is projected to remain stable in the future and to affect land use patterns in multiple ways. Monitoring and measurement concepts for urbanization processes have presented difficulties with the multitude of driving forces and variations in...
This paper presents a cross-sectional analysis of the urban land use patterns of 230 city regions in 34 European countries and an in-depth longitudinal analysis of 10 selected regions. The guiding question is whether the post-socialist transformation of urban spatial structure in Eastern European regions can be interpreted as an adaption process to...
