Governance Milieus in Shrinking Post-Socialist City Regions—and their Respective Forms of Creativity
Creative approaches to governance seem to be particularly context-dependent. Whether a city region is growing, stagnating or shrinking makes a big difference here. In this article, the normative-analytical concept of governance creativity will be tackled from the shrinkage side of city-regional developments in order to make this context dependency of governance approaches a bit more intelligible.
Three case miniatures from East-German industrial cities situated on the German-Polish border serve as the material basis for the argumentation (Forst, Guben-Gubin, Frankfurt/Oder). These case miniatures include sketches of three case-specific approaches to creatively overcoming the heavy shrinkage effects of transformational path-dependencies. On the conceptual side, an analytical tool of governance milieus is introduced m order to adequately focus the factually realized network effects stemming from new governance approaches. We also propose placing special focus on the interrelations between knowledge and creativity.
The distinction between “soft” knowledge milieus, “hard” knowledge networks and heterogeneous knowledge cultures is introduced here. “Played together”, these structural layers give rise to three different governance creativity types under shrinkage conditions. This may also throw some light on stagnating and growing city regions and their creative governance options as well.
