Planning Christallerian Landscapes: The Current Renaissance of Central Place Studies in East Germany

Author

Abstract

With the central place concept still in use as a major instrument in German spatial planning, central place relationships are currently being investigated in the new federal states of East Germany and normative central place systems are being defined. The shortcomings of the central place concept - as a theory of economic space, a model for spatial description and analysis and as a planning strategy - are clear, but its potential should, nevertheless, not be neglected. Service supply relationships are by no means losing their relevance as elements of spatial interaction; and especially in attempts to create 'sustainable' spatial situations the concept can regain power due to its inbuilt spatial eficiency principle.
