Flexibility in planning through frequent amendments. The practice of land use planning in Germany
- How can formal planning deal with uncertainty and rapid change while maintaining high standards of procedural certainty? This paper, using Germany as an example, examines how municipalities handle this dilemma within their existing planning systems. Municipalities use different approaches, ranging from regular redrafting to comprehensive changes or regular amendments. Amendments and complementary informal plans are important components of flexibility in planning. We argue that the choice to make frequent amendments instead of redrafting the preparatory land-use plan does not necessarily lead to a loss of a city-wide, long-term perspective, provided amendments are prepared and justified using informal concepts.
