Abstract

Authority over German planning law is shared between the Federation, responsible for town planning legislation, and the Landers, responsible for building legislation. In fact, planning is an autonomous responsibility belonging to municipalities which is protected by the Constitution. It is nevertheless subject to the regional planning of the Land. Town planning is based on the distinction between a general planning and a detailed planning, which is enforceable directly on property interests. A major issue concerns the conciliation between general and special (sectorial) planning. Moreover, land provision has taken an increasing importance in urban development. Therefore it is counterbalanced by the judicial protection, through Administrative Courts, responsible for the enforcement of temporary remedies.
