We would like to introduce our new Corporate member, Academy for Territorial Development in the Leibniz Association (ARL)
The ARL offers knowledge-based analysis and advice on current sustainable spatial development issues. Complex social challenges require integrative and thus interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspectives. The specific working method of the ARL, which is transdisciplinary and network-based, allows for close collaboration and a wide-ranging exchange of ideas and knowledge between members of the academic community and planning practitioners. The ARL’s network of eminent experts from science and practice carries out research and knowledge transfer activities within the Academy’s joint working bodies, thus offering important insights and findings for the future-oriented development of spatial structures and the political and planning measures necessary for shaping them. For this reason, the ARL makes the results of its work available to all interested parties as well as to stakeholders in politics and public administrations on an ongoing basis. At the same time, the ARL’s knowledge transfer provides another benefit: the coproduction of knowledge expands specialist and sectoral perspectives, advances innovation and enlightens the work of contributors from the academy and its network in their principal professional activities.
The ARL operates a Knowledge and Communication Platform (www.arl-international.com) that provides access to the Academy’s work internationally and serves as an information, knowledge, and exchange platform for spatial planning professionals. On the platform, the ARL provides so-called Country Profiles, which offer a clearly arranged overview of the geography, socio-economic and political situation of different European countries, as well as the administrative structure and government system as these aspects determine the planning system and the options available to planners in their area of responsibility.
The ARL is an independent, non-partisan institution for the spatial sciences under public law and is based in Hanover. As a Leibniz institution, it is funded jointly by the Federal Government and the federal states due to its supra-regional significance and its work in the interest of national science policy.
