Städtische und ländliche Regionen unterliegen gleichermaßen einer starken Dynamik. Hinzu kommt, dass sich auch das Verständnis davon, was Stadt und Land ausmacht, verändert. Metapolis steht für ein Netzwerk städtischer und ländlicher Siedlungen, die durch Menschen-, Waren- und Informationsströme miteinander verbunden sind. Wie lässt sich eine solche Metapolis begreifen und nachhaltig weiterentwickeln? Am Beispiel zweier Untersuchungsregionen in Niedersachsen – einem Bundesland, geprägt von wenigen Großstädten und überwiegend mittleren und kleinen Städten, Vororten und Dörfern – stellt das vorliegende Buch einen innovativen Analyserahmen namens Topoi vor. Er bietet eine neue Perspektive auf die Entwicklung von Stadt und Land. Anhand verschiedener Szenarien werden innovative Lösungen im Sinne einer nachhaltigen Planung und Gestaltung im Bereich des Stadt-Land-Gradienten untersucht. Urban and rural areas alike witness severe dynamics. Moreover, understandings of what constitutes the urban and the rural are changing, too. Metapolis conceptualizes the network of urban and rural settlements interconnected by flows of people, goods, and information. How can this Metapolis be understood and evolve in a more sustainable manner? By example of two study regions in Lower Saxony—a federal state of Germany consisting of few large cities, mostly mid-sized and small towns, suburbs, and villages—this volume presents an innovative analytical framework called Topoi, offering a new perspective on urban-rural development. Different scenarios explore innovative solutions for sustainable planning and design along the urban-rural gradient.

In an urbanizing world, the city is considered the ultimate model and the measure of all things. The attention of architects and planners has been almost entirely focused on the city for many years, while rural spaces are all too often associated with visions of economic decline, stagnation and resignation. However, rural spaces are transforming almost as radically as cities. Furthermore, rural spaces play a decisive role in the sustainable development of our living environment-inextricably interlinked with the city as a resource or reservoir. The formerly segregated countryside is now traversed by global and regional flows of people, goods, waste, energy, and information, linking it to urban systems and enabling them to function in the first place. Ruralism is dedicated to the significance of rural spaces as a starting point for transformation: what notions of rural life currently exist? What is the connection between urban and rural concepts? Can these connections provide new impulses for shaping (urban) space? International experts illuminate rural spaces from an architectural, cultural, gender-oriented, ecological, and political perspective and ask how a (new) vision of the rural can be formulated.
