Synopsis

The soil is our most precious and above all a non-propagable commodity. A carefree or capital-driven handling of this resource has accelerated sprawl. The progressive sealing of the soil contributes to the climate crisis and endangers food security. The hoarding of land and speculation make living more expensive and lead to creeping privatization of public space. Weak or unapplied instruments of spatial planning, fiscal misincentives, and a widely discouraged policy continue to write on the status quo rather than develop visions for the future. Clear and concrete, critical and sometimes involuntarily absurd, "Boden für All" explains the political, legal and economic backgrounds. Case studies and term explanations shed light on the thicket of jurisdictions. Country comparisons illustrate strengths and weaknesses of different models, and international best practice examples show alternatives. A collection of already existing and possible new instruments points ways to spatial planning that conserves the resource soil, cushions climate change, helps the housing question and allows good architecture.
