Abstract

The paper shows why German spatial planning is neoliberalized after the 2007 global economic crisis. Drawing on historical materialist theory the paper provides a conceptual framework for the analysis of spatial planning in Germany and gives an empirical insight into German spatial planning on the national scale in the aftermath of the crisis. It shows that the crisis affected Germany only for a short time. Hence, the crisis deepened existing patterns of spatial development and as the analysis of the spatial planning discourse in the German parliament shows, spatial planners and politicians perceived the crisis as an intensifier of existing spatial developments. Thus, they saw no reason to change the previous neoliberal spatial planning strategies of endogenous development and supporting metropolitan regions. Therefore, German national spatial planning discourse was neoliberalized after the global crisis.
