Abstract The question is whether the different processes in the development of growing
and shrinking urban regions implicate the necessity to adjust and to differentiate
between traditional environmental management and planning concepts. It is
argued that urban planning in growing and shrinking urban regions does not
require completely different planning procedures but locally adjusted solutions
with better integration of sustainability issues. This paper briefly presents a
conceptual approach that proposes a better integration of sustainability principles
in planning processes by the categories space management, resource
management, spatio-temporal management and process management. These
categories will allow for complementing existing formal planning instruments
with strategic, economic, and participatory approaches.
