Balancing in general and balancing alternatives and variants can be seen as a core component of the work of planners. Against the backdrop of current social challenges, the complexity of these balancing processes is increasing. From a planning science perspective, however, the question of the balancing process has only begun to be analysed. To date, there are only a few empirical studies that have explicitly focussed on balancing processes in Germany. This is where this paper starts by focusing on urban planning, investigating what planners understand by balancing alternatives and variants and how the balancing process is presented in everyday planning. To this end, 19 qualitative interviews were conducted with public and private sector planners. A qualitative content analysis was used to analyse the data. The results confirm the central role of balancing processes in everyday planning and emphasise the need for further research to understand these processes’ complexity and significance.

This paper demonstrates an approach to the problem of micro-scale analysis of medical service provision in Germany. Research focuses include estimating population dynamics, mapping access to medical facilities and identifying spatial patterns in medical service provision. We applied the Enhanced Two Step Floating Catchment Area method to quantify changes in access to primary care physicians over a period of eleven years. Our study reveals that overall access is modestly rising, but significant spatial disparities exist between different regions of Germany. We describe both supply and demand issues behind the observed changes in access. As a key result, we identify four types of regions with differing access-population dynamics. Our main conclusion on the topic of medical service provision is that spatial planning is facing a multi-dimensional problem rather than a one-dimensional one, and that access to services depends on a combination of factors. Concerning differences between rural and urban regions, we find that that there is no general positive or negative trend for either.

In this commentary, we argue for the low-impact city as an alternative to the dominant urban imaginary of the low-carbon city. We adopt an ecological economics lens to expose the limitations of the urban resource efficiency paradigm when tackling environmental degradation beyond city boundaries. Based on the interpretation of urbanisation as a material practice, we urge for a fundamental recalibration of sustainability paradigms in urban planning. To integrate the impacts of urbanisation on non-urban landscapes within the framework of urban sustainability science, we furthermore stress the urgent need for frugality, resource reduction, and inclusiveness in urban planning practice.

How should planning deal with the “brutal plurality of truths” (Davy/Levin-Keitel/Sielker 2023). This is a relevant but also controversial question. In this commentary section, Gerd Lintz pointed out that a “broad concept of truth and knowledge” might undermine the ability to cope with the climate and biodiversity crisis in terms of planning (Lintz 2024). Leaving aside the supposed risks of a social-constructivist dilution of the concept of truth, this commentary focuses on planning challenges that go hand in hand with an “epistemization of the political” (Bogner 2021). Epistemization refers to the challenge of how knowledge comes about and by whom it is produced. At the planning level, the question arises as to where and why various forms of truth and knowledge production are increasingly becoming a problem. For example, it is necessary to deal with the (de)politicizing effects of data-driven spatial development, the denial of planning expertise or the suppression of deliberative procedures for plan qualification. Such “knowledge conflicts” must be reflected upon in planning science—especially in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research and work contexts. Die Frage, wie Planung – theoretisch und praktisch – mit der gegenwärtigen „brutal plurality of truths“ (Davy/Levin-Keitel/Sielker 2023) umgeht, ist unbestritten dringlich. Bemerkenswert sind allerdings die divergierenden Schlussfolgerungen, die Benjamin Davy, Meike Levin-Keitel und Franziska Sielker sowie Lintz (2024) im Hinblick auf die herausfordernden multiplen Wahrheiten ziehen. Während Benjamin Davy, Meike Levin-Keitel und Franziska Sielker vorschlagen, Polyrationalität als Modus planerischer Praxis analytisch ernst zu nehmen und für eine bedachte pluralistische Planungstheoriebildung werben, nimmt Gerd Lintz deren Artikel zum Anlass, um eindringlich vor einer Art postmodernem Relativismus zu warnen. Problematisch sei der „weite Wahrheits- und Wissensbegriff“ (Lintz 2024: 2) unter anderem deshalb, weil er intersubjektiv überprüfbares Wissen tendenziell abwerte und damit interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit mit Natur‑, Ingenieur‑, Rechts- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften erschwere. Nicht nur das, auch transdisziplinäre Forschung wäre unter der Annahme beliebiger Realitätsvorstellungen kaum vorstellbar. Gerd Lintz’ Generalabrechnung mit vermeintlich beliebigen postmodernen Wahrheitsverständnissen erinnert ein bisschen an die Science Wars der 1990er-Jahre. Bei diesen ging es – stark vereinfacht gesprochen – um eine Auseinandersetzung zwischen Wissenschaftssoziologen und Naturwissenschaftlern. Erstere hinterfragten die Machart wissenschaftlicher Wahrheit, letztere verwahrten sich gegen einen postmodernen Relativismus (vgl. Grolimund 2018). Inwiefern ein weiter Wissens- und Wahrheitsbegriff nun dem planerischen Problembewusstsein für Klima- und Biodiversitätskrise abträglich ist, kann man diskutieren.
