Undesired situation • Utopia • High cooperation to achieve strict environmental policies • Quality of the environment is valued high • Decentralized energy provisioning • High density development next to nature area • Increased sustainable transport (public, alternative, cycling) • High acceptance and implementation of Spatial Plan • Threats • Irreversible fatal flaws • Time-consuming policy making 1.Teamwork on Environmental Decay • Sore Reality • Low influence of e-NGOs • Little attention to sustainability in Spatial Plan • Development on economically attractive plots • Centralized infrastructures • City wants to attract investment • Opportunities and threats • Brown field development • Cooperation between municipalities and private landowners • Increased decision making power centralization • Greening on loose-ground • Main focus on environmental sustainability • Spatial planning (high density development next to nature area) • Sustainable infrastructures • Efficient policy making, but threat of fatal flaws • Opportunities and threats • Cooperation on common interest • Policy inconsistency • Increase of corruption • Societal tension • Teamwork on environmental decay • Conservation of service-providing ecosystems • Successful implementation and acceptance of Spatial Plan • Investment in renewable energy remains low • Development near private transport infrastructure 4.
