As a cultural centre of transregional importance,Karlsruhe is home to two German national courts and has, in recentyears, emerged as one of Germany’s leading technology hubs.There is a wide array of higher education institutions, including thenewly founded KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology), a fusion of theUniversity of Karlsruhe and the Karlsruhe Research Centre, the Universityof Applied Sciences (Hochschule Karlsruhe), the Universityof Education (Pädagogische Hochschule), the Academy of Fine Arts(Akademie für Bildende Künste), and the Karlsruhe University of Artsand Design (Staatliche Hochschule für Gestaltung) in conjunction withthe Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe (Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie).23,000 students are non-German. As part of the KIT, the Institute forRegional Science (IfR) represents a national and international contactpoint with regard to teaching and research for those ambitious towork in regional science and spatial planning or further their educationMany public measures affecting space, especially large-scale infrastructureprojects such as dams, power plants, roads, railway lines,new cities or new urban quarters are rightly regarded as impressiveengineering achievements. In retrospect, however, they often appearto be the result of faulty or incomplete planning. The reason for this isthat despite being perfect in terms of technical execution, these projectsfail to consider the manifold factors that may contradict the envisagedgoal on the local and regional level.In fact, any planning activity and any public measure with regard tospace also affects regional social systems, the regional economy andthe complex interplay of a region’s natural factors – its regional ecology.Therefore, a sustainable spatial planning approach needs to detectand coordinative planning on the local, regional, and internationallevel.The mission of the Institute for Regional Science (IfR) is to apply thisbroad approach to spatial planning in both its research and teachingactivities, a mission which is successfully realised in the IfR’s internationallyaccredited Master’s Course in “Regional Science / SpatialPlanning”. Since 2006, students from all over the world have completedthis programme and have taken up leading and expert positionswith national and international employers.67

Der fächerförmige Stadtgrundrissweist auf ihre barocke Entstehungszeit (Gründung 1715) hin. Ihreüberregionale Bedeutung ergibt sich aus ihrer Ausstattung mit bedeutendenzentralörtlichen Einrichtungen und Funktionen. So beherbergtKarlsruhe gleich zwei Bundesgerichte und hat sich in den letzten Jahrenzu einer der wichtigsten Technologiezentren unter den deutschenStädten entwickelt.Vor allem das breite Spektrum an Angeboten für die höhere Bildungist hier zu nennen, mit dem kürzlich gegründeten KIT (Karlsruher Institutfür Technologie, eine Fusion der Universität Karlsruhe mit dem ForschungszentrumKarlsruhe), der Hochschule Karlsruhe Technik undWirtschaft, der Pädagogischen Hochschule, der Akademie für BildendeKünste und der Hochschule für Gestaltung in Verbindung mit demZentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie.gehört das KIT zu den führenden deutschen Universitäten. Ungefährein Fünftel der rund 19.000 Studierenden am KIT sind Nichtdeutsche.Das Institut für Regionalwissenschaft am KIT ist damit nationalwie international ein wichtiges Zentrum für alle, die in Lehre undForschung auf dem Gebiet der Regionalwissenschaft und der Raumplanungarbeiten oder ihre Ausbildung auf diesem Gebiet vertiefenmöchten.Viele öffentliche Maßnahmen berühren den Raum.

Manche dieser Einrichtungenjedoch scheinen das Ergebnis einer schlechten oder unvollständigenPlanung zu sein. Der Grund dafür ist, dass ihre vielfältigenperfekten technischen Designs nicht ausreichend berücksichtigt wurden,so dass das ursprüngliche Planungsziel verfehlt wird.Jede Planungsaktivität und jede öffentliche raumrelevante Maßnahmewirkt sich auch auf die regionalen sozialen Systeme, die regionaleÖkonomie und auch auf das komplexe Wirkungsgefüge der regionalenUmweltfaktoren aus, also auf die regionale Ökologie. Planungbedeutet daher auch die Ermittlung dieser Auswirkungen und ihreBerücksichtigung im Rahmen von sektorübergreifenden, koordinierendenPlanungen auf lokaler, regionaler und internationaler Ebene.Das Ziel des Instituts für Regionalwissenschaft am KIT Karlsruhe istes, diesen breiten Ansatz in Forschung und Lehre zu vertreten undweiter zu entwickeln.
