Ongoing dissertation project: Katharina Dropmann . (In) Times of Climate Change – Setting in Motion Spatial Planning Instruments for Processual Transformation 
Climate change is a temporal phenomenon. The hypothesis of the Anthropocene – the inscription of humans in the history of the Earth and the accompanying irreversible break with previous epochs – unites the complex temporal structures of modernity and its conflicts. This inevitably leads to the need to break down the complex chronotope of climate change in order to place it at the center of future spatial developments. The results of this comprehensive analysis allow, in a second step, the mechanisms and planning instruments of spatial planning to be critically examined in terms of their processuality and temporal differentiation. The currently predominantly rigid, short-term planning logic can be broken down by alternative mechanisms and instruments that can be designed processually from the temporalities of natural systems.
