Planning Spaces Through Intercultural Dialogue

Sustainable Planning needs dialogue – not only between sectoral departments and among stakeholders, but between spaces, between citizens and politicians, between different needs and development goals. In today´s globalised world dialogue becomes more important.
The publication results from a cooperation project between planners from Germany and the Middle East. It emphasizes the role and significance of historic city centres in both cultural contexts. The comparison between European and Arabic experiences means active dialogue between both planning cultures.
