چکیده
In understanding change, history provides the only study material available. A standard challenge in urban research is, however, to overcome more or less trivial empiric renderings in favour of theoretically based conceptualisations. In the following, some effort is made to employ concepts that would encompass spatial as well as social processes, and address current problems of urban development. Here, standard concepts that are formulated within the modernistic tradition of architecture, or as part of the ideology of historicism, are of little use. They are not the means but the subjects of analysis.

متن کاملEignung der erosionsmindernden Verfahren Strip-Till und zeitweilige Zwischenbegrünung im Gemüsebau
Die Bodenerosion durch Wasser stellt im intensiven Feldgemüsebau zunehmend ein Problem dar (Basher et al. 2002).
