spatial planning
The overarching, comprehensive, and forward-looking planning for the organization and development of an area, for example a country or region. It aims to coordinate different land-use demands such as housing, transport, business, and environmental protection.
Die Raumordnung legt fest, wo neue Wohngebiete und wo Industriegebiete entstehen dürfen.
Spatial planning determines where new residential areas and industrial areas may be developed.
This word is made up of 'Raum' (space/area) and 'Ordnung' (order/organization). Literally, it means giving order to a geographic area, that is, planning and structuring its use.
Die Raumordnung muss die Interessen von Naturschutz und Wirtschaft in Einklang bringen.
Spatial planning must reconcile the interests of nature conservation and business.
'Raumordnung' (spatial planning) is a technical term from politics, administration, and geography. You find it mainly in official documents, laws, and news reports.
Der Bebauungsplan der Gemeinde muss den Vorgaben der Raumordnung entsprechen.
The municipality's development plan must comply with the requirements of spatial planning.
Common phrases are 'die Ziele der Raumordnung' (the goals of spatial planning), or that spatial planning 'festlegt' (determines) or 'vorsieht' (provides for) something. It is an abstract concept that establishes rules.
Ein wichtiges Ziel der Raumordnung ist die Vermeidung von Zersiedelung.
An important goal of spatial planning is the prevention of urban sprawl.
urban planning
Stadtplanung guides the development of a single city or municipality. Raumordnung, by contrast, considers larger areas such as a region or country and coordinates different land-use demands there. The appropriate term therefore depends mainly on the spatial level involved.
Die Raumordnung legt fest, wie in der ganzen Region Wohnen, Verkehr und Naturschutz abgestimmt werden.
Spatial planning determines how housing, transport, and nature conservation are to be coordinated throughout the region.
Die Stadtplanung legt fest, wo die Gemeinde ein neues Wohnviertel entwickeln kann.
The urban planning determines where the municipality can develop a new residential neighborhood.
