Abstract
In this national commentary, Bernd Scholl reflects on the spatial development challenges facing Switzerland, including urban sprawl, internal densification, and the pressures of transit traffic. He emphasises the need for coordinated planning across all levels of government in a complex federal system. The article discusses the role of informal and cooperative planning processes, especially in small and mid-sized municipalities. Scholl highlights the integration of research, education, and practice, and calls for spatial planning education that is inter- and transdisciplinary, adaptable, and responsive to real-world problems. He advocates for European cooperation in planning, rooted not in standardisation but in the richness of cultural diversity and mutual learning.
