TY - GEN A1 - Weidner, Silke A1 - Stevens, James Miller A1 - Maikämper, Moritz T1 - Provinzstadt - a definitive approach T2 - AESOP Annual Congress 2018, July 10-14 Gothenburg N2 - The paper aims to summarize the current debate on the term “Provinzstadt” in the German-language context, to introduce it to an international audience and to reflect on whether and where similarities and differences exist within Europe. “Provinz” brings with it various associations in German-speaking regions. Within the historical context political-administrative categories are definitive, while the origins of this city type are related to, among others, inheritance and geomorphological factors. Currently the once strictly negative connotation is beginning to take a positive turn. Although the growing metropolitan centers dominate the contemporary scientific and societal discussions, the “Provinzstädte” are increasingly gaining importance and attention (cf. Institut für Stadtplanung/ BTU 2017; Baumgart, Overhageböck, Rüdiger 2011; Bell, Jayne 2009; Hodos 2011; Schmidt-Lauber 2010). The analysis of the term’s etymology and interpretation comprise the first part of the paper and the basis for the subsequent examination of this city type. Methodologically five selected case studies will be analyzed and relevant qualitative characteristics deduced. Several hypotheses will then be developed to be discussed among the session participants. Spatial-structural and -ordering, functional and life-world characteristics of the selected “Provinzstädte” will be examined and discussed. In addition to demographic characteristics also qualitative factors such as regional location, centrality, function, historical development of increased significance, urban structure etc. will be introduced. The discourse on “Provinzstädte” will be placed in relation to further discussions with primarily qualitative approaches that are used in part within the German context but also internationally, e.g. Global City, Regiopole, “Schwarmstadt” etc. Y1 - 2018 SP - 498 CY - Gothenburg ER - TY - GEN A1 - Danielzyk, Rainer A1 - Eberhard, Lisa A1 - Eltges, Markus A1 - Erb, Katrin A1 - Flamm, Lena A1 - Huhold, Carola A1 - Knippschild, Robert A1 - Knorr-Siedow, Thomas A1 - Korzer, Tanja A1 - Leuschner, Silke A1 - Liebmann, Heike A1 - Maikämper, Moritz A1 - Matern, Antje A1 - Nagler, Heinz A1 - Prytula, Michael A1 - Schmidt-Lauber, Brigitta Johanna A1 - Stevens, James Miller A1 - Thiel, Fabian A1 - Weidner, Silke A1 - Zimmermann, Lars ED - Flamm, Lena ED - Klöden-Billemont, Agnès ED - Maikämper, Moritz ED - Stevens, James Miller ED - Weidner, Silke T1 - Provinzstädte – Neu definiert N2 - Der 2.
