Work and research focus
Bauhardt is particularly concerned with the areas of theory and politics of spatial planning, migration and urban development as well as sustainability and gender relations. She dedicates herself to these research interests, for example, in her publication Ent Grenzente Raum. On the theory and politics of spatial planning (2004). Bauhardt understands spatial planning here as an action science that is caught in the tension between two tasks: the development of normative action concepts and concrete action alternatives on the one hand and the analysis of the social and political context in which planning action takes place on the other. Bauhardt emphasizes the simultaneity of production and reproduction of spatial relationships. Bauhardt assumes that spatial planning operates in a network of politics, discourses and social processes and thus refuses to propose purely pragmatic solutions. As already made clear in the subtitle (On Theory and Politics of Spatial Planning), Bauhardt considers a well-founded political science approach to planning theory to be beneficial in order to meet the various requirements for spatial planning. With this, Bauhardt points to a general deficit in spatial planning discourses and courses. By including the perspective of gender relations in her theoretical considerations, Bauhardt expands in this and many other of her publications the analytical view beyond the actors and institutions directly involved in spatial planning. In this way, the theoretical deconstruction of power relations, which are manifest not least in spatial structuring practices, is made possible and an understanding of spatial structures is generated, which is necessary for the democratization of planning practice. According to Bauhardt, spatial planning today has to face the following challenges in particular: On the one hand, it is important to cope with the consequences of economic and social globalization (e.g. migration); Furthermore, the problems arising from the scarcity and uneven distribution of natural resources must be included in spatial planning considerations. In addition, the dismantling of state control competence in the form of increasing privatization means the loss of importance of sovereign planning specifications and thus requires a new self-understanding of planning theory and practice , possibly more geared towards participation .
