Abstract

So far, we have extensively discussed how the elements of a joint spatial and energy planning system are intertwined and how their effectiveness for proceeding toward the energy turn can be judged; we have drawn visions for integrated spatial and energy planning, described fields of action and principles as well as measures to achieve energy efficiency and renewable energy supplies in different spatial structures. This chapter is dedicated to the design of planning processes for the energy turn and tools that can facilitate such processes. First, a theory frame for process and tool design is introduced. Second, the interplay between top-down framework planning and bottom-up action planning is described. Finally, tools to support such planning processes are introduced and their applicability for certain planning tasks is discussed.
