Development axis

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The development axis is one of the essential planning instruments of spatial planning and state planning to secure, organize and control settlement development. It serves to concentrate the development along a powerful band infrastructure, the exchange of services between the larger central locations and with the adjoining rooms.

The high-performance belt infrastructure includes existing rail lines with local transport systems that run at regular intervals: urban and suburban trains are to be mentioned here; likewise the regional lines. In individual cases there are also train stations with long-distance stops. The spaces between the development axes serve in particular to ensure healthy living conditions and the functions and uses that rely on open spaces. By concentrating settlement development on the settlement areas of the development axes, favorable conditions are created for an efficient, economical and open space-saving supply of public and private service facilities. This also results in a rational development and favorable allocation of settlement and infrastructure. The more densely populated and well equipped areas along the development axes and the less populated or free spaces between the development axes complement each other and form a functional unit. The task of the spaces between the development axes (in addition to agricultural production as regeneration and protection areas for the natural foundations of life) usually includes the use of the existing communities or parts of the community as part of their own needs for further settlement development.

Bundle of routes on a development axis (2013):
high-speed line Nuremberg – Erfurt (under construction) and A 71
Erfurt – Schweinfurt (completed)

aims

The transport infrastructure is to be specifically strengthened and improved. The development of the economy, traffic and settlements should be concentrated along the axes. This is intended to curb urban sprawl and preserve the advantages of the agglomeration . By bundling roads, railway lines and high-voltage lines on the development axes, the impact on the environment should be minimized.

Examples

For example, the new ICE line from Frankfurt to Cologne runs directly parallel to federal motorway 3 in parts .

The high-speed line Nuremberg – Erfurt ( traffic project German Unity No. 8 ) and the A 71 Erfurt – Schweinfurt ( traffic project German Unity No. 16), which were built almost at the same time, run parallel to each other in the northern area.

Advantages and disadvantages

An important advantage is that larger, contiguous, intact landscapes and natural and (near) recreational areas are less intersected by traffic routes and thus protected from sensitive damage. Suitable locations for (intermunicipal) business parks will be created at motorway junctions - especially for large logistics companies , which will thus reduce the burden on country roads and through-roads. So z. B. the huge newer logistics parks in the Czech Republic and Slovakia almost without exception at junctions of newer motorways on the main development axes.

A possible disadvantage of this concept is the neglect of the gaps. If a large part of the financial resources is invested in the development axes, it can lead to continual deterioration in living conditions in the interstices. This leads to increased emigration, which intensifies the effect.
