Abstract
Treating ‘Territorial Cohesion’ (TC) is similar to Plato’s cave parable: you are watching phenomena, like shadows on the wall of a cave, which could be interpreted in one way or another, but you cannot perceive the reality hidden from you which causes these phenomena on the wall. Contrary to political demands for more transparency in European policies and more opportunities for the involvement of citizens, the insight into TC policy procedures appears to be widely secluded from the public and even hidden from research interests, and perhaps from many official experts involved in the debates as well. When lengthy procedures have come to an (interim) end and formal, political decisions have materialized in final (conference) documents which are submitted to the public, and are hence available to the scientific community, it is too late in most cases for any public or scientific involvement in the procedure and its results.
in collaboration with Hendrik David (Dipl.Arch. ETH/MA HSG)
