Title: Reconsidering Urban Resilience Assessments Towards Recovery During Conflict Authors: Moleiro Dale, Maria; Vivanco, Ramon; Makarova, Nataliya; Barski, Jan; Noennig, Jörg Rainer Abstract: In the face of global crises, resilience is a crucial approach to recovery. Urban resilience frameworks have proliferated in the last three decades, as support for policy-focused guidelines towards sustainable development. However, gaps in the adoption of urban resilience frameworks for local-level urban planning still exist. This study argues whether existing frameworks, despite addressing current global challenges such as climate adaptation or rapid urban growth, are suitable for contexts experiencing conflict. The methodological approach is guided by two themes: 1) How can an urban system be dissected into sub-components, to make it more relatable to resilience approaches? and 2) what qualities of resilience are needed for effective implementation? Both questions support the formulation of a novel urban resilience framework which is integrated into an adaptable digital instrument. A pilot conducted in two Ukrainian cities is presented as the implementation case. The outcome of this study summarises the learnings from implementation and highlights the relevance of integrating resilience assessments into digital platforms focused on local, decentralised planning contexts, to accelerate digital maturity and better prepare against future crises of unprecedented scale.

Title: Waiting, Acceleration, Stabilization: Polychronic Temporalities as Drivers of a Large-Scale Chinese Green Technology Project in Thuringia, Eastern Germany Authors: Langguth, Hannes Abstract: This chapter addresses the key role of host-state actors and place-specific histories and power structures, which significantly influence the localization of China’s global infrastructure expansion. Drawing on empirical findings from a recently implemented Chinese gigafactory for the manufacturing of electric vehicle battery cells in Thuringia, Eastern Germany, the chapter introduces a temporal-relational framework to explore the entangled time-infrastructure relations that shape and are shaped by the project deployment. It offers three temporal lenses – waiting, acceleration and stabilization – and argues that their ‘polychronism’ is central to the project’s success while also fostering speculative urban development and reinforcing regional power imbalances. The findings highlight the federal government’s pivotal role in steering the project’s localization, progressively extending its influence while diminishing the authority of local municipalities over time.

Title: Wohnen in Hamburg Abstract: In wohnungspolitischen Debatten dient Hamburg vielfach als bundesweites Vorbild. Dennoch ist auch hier die Lage durch kontinuierlich steigende Mieten und Preise für breite Teile der Bevölkerung prekär. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes behandeln die Situation der Wohnungsversorgung in der Hansestadt und geben einen kritischen Überblick über zentrale Akteure, Instrumente und Konfliktfelder. Aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive zeigen sie historische Entwicklungspfade sowie aktuelle Lösungsansätze auf und analysieren relevante Kontroversen. So entsteht ein informativer Überblick über die Forschung zur Hamburger Wohnungspolitik, der auch für Praktiker*innen aus Stadtplanung und Politik neue Erkenntnisse bereithält.

Title: Towards hyperreal planning? Surveying practical uses of digital models and simulations in Hamburg’s public administration Authors: Herzog, Rico Abstract: As urban planning practice increasingly intersects with digital technologies, models and simulations are becoming central components of integrated urban development. Yet, claims that such tools either risk a return to technocratic planning or support better decision making are often made in the absence of empirical evidence on their institutional uptake and practitioner’s needs. This exploratory survey addresses this gap by examining which models and simulations are employed by the public administration of Hamburg, Germany, and for which spatially relevant decision-making processes. The analysis also investigates which models and simulations are desired for future integrated urban development purposes in the context of an urban digital twin. Findings indicate that while around two thirds of the currently used digital models are static representations of urban systems – such as data layers and 3D-models – the majority of requested models lie in the domain of dynamic simulations for mobility, the urban environment, and urban development. This suggests a pending shift from static to dynamic representation. Moreover, results highlight that sharing a pluralistic set of simulation models across departments could harness substantial synergies. Consequently, the study argues for public digital infrastructure capable of embedding computational advances into multi-stakeholder planning processes.
