Abstract

This paper investigates how an urban masterplan can be used to catalyse civic and entrepreneurial engagement to trigger a broad resurgence process within a medium‐sized city. Therefore, it dwells on the masterplan project MG 3.0 in Mönchengladbach, which is often described as the initial impulse of a dynamic resurgence process—a confident statement the authors want to question. The exploratory case study applies the “urban health” concept by Glaeser and Gottlieb and highlights the significance of place‐based leadership as well as entrepreneurial engagement in terms of Corporate Urban Responsibility in developing an overarching vision of the urban future. En este artículo se investiga cómo se puede utilizar un plan maestro urbano para catalizar la interacción entre la sociedad civil y el sector empresarial para desencadenar un amplio proceso de resurgimiento dentro de una ciudad de tamaño medio. Por lo tanto, el artículo se centra en el proyecto del plan maestro MG 3.0 de Mönchengladbach, descrito a menudo como el impulso inicial de un proceso de resurgimiento dinámico, una afirmación enérgica que se quiere cuestionar en el artículo. El estudio de caso exploratorio aplica el concepto de “salud urbana” de Glaeser y Gottlieb y destaca la importancia del liderazgo basado en el lugar, así como la interacción con el sector empresarial en términos de Responsabilidad Corporativa Urbana para el desarrollo de una visión global del futuro urbano. 本稿では、市民と起業家の関与を触媒し、中規模都市での広範な再生プロセスを引き起こすためには、どのように都市マスタープランを使用できるかを検討する。そのため本稿では、ダイナミックな再生プロセスの初期の衝動といわれることが多いメンヒェングラートバッハ市のマスタープランプロジェクトであるMG 3.0(我々が疑問を抱いている自信に満ちた声明)について論じる。この探索的ケーススタディでは、GlaeserとGottliebによる「健康都市」の概念を適用し、将来の包括的な都市像の設定における、Corporate Urban Responsibility的な観点での場所に基づくリーダーシップと起業家の関与の重要性を強調する。
