Who should profit from urban planning? An increasing number of stakeholders currently demand that planning policy leads to added value for the entire urban society and not just for individual groups: Designing for the common good! One instrument of public real estate policy that negotiates the common good could be a conceptual allocation of public property (Konzeptverfahren). This instrument allows cities to allocate their land based on the quality of the idea for development and use instead of price-based bidding. In public invitations to tender, municipalities define a set of criteria that applicants can or must meet. The aim of this publication is to evaluate the orientation of such tenders towards the common good using a list of criteria compiled from the following existing assessments: The Federal Building Code (Baugesetzbuch); the city yield (Stadtrendite); a proposed federal policy to support not-for-profit housing companies (Wohngemeinnützigkeit); the Common Good Balance Sheet (Gemeinwohlökonomie); the Better-Life-Index (Wohlstandsforschung) and the common good criteria as defined in the federal tax code (Gemeinnützigkeit nach Abgabenordnung). Although there may be some variations in definitions of common good, at the core of these assessments are social criteria, ecological sustainability, and opportunities for participation. Beside these dominant categories, each assessment is supplemented by less common criteria which are grouped into six additional categories, giving an overview of how the common good is currently defined. This paper examines 28 invitations to tender based on the conceptual allocation of public property (Konzeptausschreibungen). Of these 28 invitations, each from a different German city, it was found that all contained, to some extent, the criteria for forming common good. As such, these tenders can be considered as supporting the common good. This script finds, however, that the categories participation, education and health should resonate more strongly in future tenders. The instrument (Konzeptverfahren) offers municipalities the opportunity to set development goals that are based on local needs and public interest criteria. But, as the comparison shows, there are significant differences between tendering procedures. Therefore, it should not be concluded that tendering based on the conceptual allocation of public property guarantees public interest-oriented urban development.

Ryskamp provides an up-to-the-minute report on the law and politics of eminent domain after the Supreme Court's (in)famous Kelo v. New London decision of June of 2005. All the states are just beginning to debate reforming their eminent domain laws, and there is nothing whatsoever on the market which would give them a clue as to how to frame the debate. Legislators are bewildered as to how to proceed. In the famous Lindsey v. Normet Supreme Court case, 405 US 56 (1972), the Court found there was no right to housing, which is one of the reasons we are in the midst of this eminent domain controve

La place de Dieu dans la cité, si ce n'est dans la société, est un sujet largement débattu dans diverses enceintes et sur la placepublique, d'où des laïcistes impénitents voudraient l'exclure. Afin de ladéfinir correctement, l'AES s'efforcera d'en rechercher les fondementsphilosophiques, anthropologiques, politiques, juridiques, historiques. Depuisles origines de l'humanité, l'homme, être spirituel, a su distinguer le sacrédu profane ; il a su prendre en compte le fait religieux. Et les sociétés se sontorganisées en conséquence. Différents domaines d'illustration seront examinés : l'écoleet l'université, l'hôpital, les armées, où les choses ont plus ou moins évoluédepuis la fameuse loi de séparation des églises et de l'Etat de 1905. La question de l'Islam enfin ne peut être éludée. Laneutralité chère à la laïcité républicaine ne risque-t-elle pas d'être vainelorsque la distinction entre les domaines politique et religieux est niée ? Dieu doit-il alors acquérir une place nouvelle dans la cité ? Les chrétiens savent bien qu'il s'agit de la distinction duspirituel et du temporel, de Dieu et de César. L'expérience et les suggestions de responsables de l'Eglise aideront enfin l'Académie à tirer le meilleurbénéfice de cette réflexion.
