Urban Development Management as a Quality Assurance Tool

The classical, hierarchical model of (public) planning and (private) implementation has only limited validity for urban development in the built city. Under changing economic and demographic conditions, cooperative processes, agreements, and contracts serve primarily to develop sustainable guidelines and carry out innovative pilot projects. The shift in paradigm towards integrated, strategic urban development management is a precondition for safeguarding spatial, social, and cultural quality in local authority action, subject as it is to increasing pressure to privatise and deregulate. The example of Munich demonstrates elements and methods in this type of quality assurance. The generalised description of factors for success offers no patent recipes but ideas for interdependence management to be developed on the basis of local planning culture.
