N2 - The book discusses and organizes planning theories in a new way. Building on a foundation in scientific theory, both planning practice and the planning sciences are thereby classified and their inherent importance is organized in terms of knowledge generation. The core of the book is a knowledge-oriented systematization of planning knowledge in the form of planning theories, the topology of planning theories. The target audience of this work are academic as well as practical users from diverse disciplines with spatial impact, such as spatial planning, urban planning, regional planning, landscape planning, geography, urban studies, architecture and landscape architecture. Prof. Dr. Meike Levin-Keitel teaches and researches at the TU Dortmund University, Faculty of Spatial Planning in the field of spatial transformation in the digital age. She is interested in planning theories and their enhancement for years, she connects these fundamentals with questions of spatial transformation in cities and rural areas. Lukas Behrend studied urban planning, philosophy and political science. He is a research assistant at the TU Berlin University and a doctoral student at the TU Dortmund University and particularly interested in questions of epistemology and ethics in spatial planning and development UR - https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-37857-7 ER -
