In fast growing economies, rapid urbanization generates high demand for construction aggregates in the rural hinterland of cities. Their extraction often causes negative repercussions on the environment. In Vietnam, the central government has made strong efforts to incorporate environmental objectives in the aggregate mining sector, and, in a one-party state, it has powerful means to implement its policies. Nevertheless, adverse environmental effects of aggregate mining are visible throughout the country. Against this background, the purpose of this paper is to identify barriers for environmental policy integration in a one-party state. The aggregates industry in Hoa Binh Province, located in the hinterland of the fast growing capital Hanoi, is taken as a case. Methods of the study, which was conducted between 2015 and 2019, include literature review, document and data analysis, interviews, group discussions for information collection and validation of results, and site visits. Six environmental policy integration barriers are derived from the literature. They form the conceptual basis for explaining difficulties of environmental policy implementation and integration in the concrete case. The study demonstrates that the following factors provide a viable concept for analyzing deficits of environmental policy integration in a fast modernizing one-party state: (a) the prevalence of top-down approaches with insufficient trigger-down effects, (b) the predominance of socioeconomic over environmental objectives, (c) weak incentives to improve environmental performance, (d) fragmented environmental planning and implementation, (e) weak institutional control mechanisms on lower levels of government, and (f) compliance oriented public participation and deficient compensation mechanisms. These are potential entry points for coping with environmental challenges of growth oriented sector policies.

Responsible mining is a new catchword of our times. However, in practice, there seem to be many barriers that hinder the successful implementation of the concept. This is especially true for countries with high urbanization speed, and it is even true for one-party states where its implementation could, in general, be taken for granted as soon as the central government has taken respective decisions and put appropriate stipulations and mechanisms formally in place. On this background, the article deals with barriers and possible solutions regarding responsible mining taking the case of Vietnam, and more especially the Province of Hoa Binh, neighboring Hanoi. Based on a literature review on responsible mining, a set of principles promoting this approach is developed. This is taken as a criteria set for the assessment of respective policies and their implementation on the different levels of authority in Vietnam. Finally, proposals are developed how to advance responsible mining in this case and in other comparable countries.

Resilience ranks high on the environmentally oriented research agenda on sustainable urban and regional development. The annual “Global Forum on Urban Resilience and Adaptation” has become a meeting point for academia and practice. The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development uses the term in two of their 17 Sustainable Development Goals, i.e., in Goal No. 9 on infrastructure as a basis for economic development and No. 11 on cities and human settlements. Moreover, resilience has become a prominent topic in the New Urban Agenda. Against this background, the article provides an overview of recent discussion on resilience. It scrutinizes how the concept has been used by different researchers from diverse disciplines with special reference to urban, regional and environmental studies. A systematic literature review on resilience was carried out in order to shed light on recent developments of thought and practice. All in all, 650 articles were reviewed. Following an introduction into the topic and description of the applied methodological approach, different facets of the debate on resilience are presented, and conclusions are drawn. It can be seen that the discussion of resilience needs more specificity, transdisciplinary approaches, and regional contextualization, especially in urban and regional development studies in the countries of the global south.

Resilience in urban and regional planning means preparing for the unforeseen, being able to withstand disturbance, dealing with risks in a coordinated way and recovering from destruction and decline. This requires the development of flexible, adaptive and resistant city structures (social, physical and institutional) that can both reactively and proactively adjust or transform to changing conditions. Influential nodes of international discussion on resilience have evolved, with strong guidance provided by a group of research centers and universities which dedicate much of their work to the topic of resilience. However, thus far the city-region discussion has been dominated by research on the effects of natural events (mainly ‘disasters’), and climate change (as a slow burn) (Schiappacasse and Müller 2016). One of the challenges facing city planning researchers and practitioners is to build urban resilience. This can best be achieved by focusing on common research interests and promoting academic cooperation in various contexts and frameworks. The article focuses on answering the following two questions: (a) What do we know about resilience? This section includes a discussion on the conceptual understanding of resilience and the major areas of investigation. (b) Which research topics on resilience could become common research interests? This section of the article focuses on potential topics for joint research and academic cooperation between Japan and Germany.

Alongside inclusive prosperity and social inclusion, urban resilience is one of the key transformative commitments for promoting and ensuring environmental sustainability in the Quito Implementation Plan. Urban resilience emphasizes the importance of learning and being proactive, in creating responses that prepare cities and communities for unexpected events. However, there still exists a considerable gap between ideas of resilience and their implementation, especially regarding how resilience can be measured and how it can be rendered observable. The article discusses how the notion of resilience can be applied to cities in order to identify principles for the replication or scaling up of urban reaction and/or adaptation responses. During the course of the 20th century the city of Dresden was frequently affected by dramatic events (wartime bombing and firestorms, political upheaval and flooding) and thus seems a suitable laboratory to understand the methodological difficulties in identifying sources of urban resilience. Findings may have repercussions for the Quito Implementation Plan in helping to operationalize the concept of resilience.

Green infrastructure programmes and strategies are regarded as planning opportunities to promote sustainable and resilient urban development. However, the discourse about green infrastructure policy and its effectiveness has pointed to the limited success in practical implementation. Since the green infrastructure has no planning status in its own right, it depends on being embedded in comprehensive urban and regional planning approaches if it is to have an impact on sustainable and resilient urban development. At the same time spatial planning may contribute to providing a platform for its institutionalisation. Against this backdrop, the article first looks at the contents of urban resilience. Secondly, we discuss principles for planning resilient cities. Thirdly, we analyse how green infrastructure initiatives can foster these principles contributing to building urban and regional resilience. Fourthly, we discuss the challenges facing the institutionalisation of green infrastructure initiatives. Finally, we draw conclusions about the future role of spatial planning in the process of institutionalising green infrastructure strategies

Scientific concerns about the causes of demographic change – fertility, mortality, and migration – have a long history in Europe.1 Recently, the number of studies and publications on demographic change and its repercussions has been increasing. Academies, foundations, and associations have been giving more and more attention to the issue. They have organised conferences, prepared position papers, and drawn up recommendations for stakeholders; for example in Germany the Bertelsmann and the Schader Foundations.
