 is a Lecturer\, Planning and Housing\, at the University of Cambridge in t
 he Department of Land Economy. Before taking up the Lectureship\, Dr Sielk
 er has been Lead Researcher on a project of ‘Future Cities in the Making
 - Overcoming Barriers to Information Modelling’\, funded by the Centre f
 or Digital Built Britain and a British Academy Newton International Postdo
 c Fellow for a project on power relationships in European spatial policies
 . Frannziska Sielker has been Interim Professor and Acting Chair of the Ch
 air of ‘International Planning Studies’ in the academic year 2018/2019
  at the TU Dortmund University\, Germany. Her PhD was at the University of
  Erlangen-Nuremberg in Human Geography. Her research interests cover Europ
 ean cohesion policies and spatial governance\, cross-border regions\, infl
 uences of foreign direct investments\, such as the Belt and Road Initiativ
 e\, on national planning processes and digitalisation in planning. Dr Siel
 ker has published in terms of her research interests.\n\n*Talk Overview:*\
 nHow do spatial planners make use of economic data? What are the differenc
 es in understanding spatial analysis? The Land Economy course is a genuine
  interdisciplinary course\, in which links between economic research and p
 lanning are crucial. Against this background\, my aim is threefold. First\
 , I introduce the differences in how planners and economists’ approach\,
  understand and use the same concepts and terms. \nSecond\, I outline how 
 planners make use of economic indicators as one aspect within ‘spatial a
 nalysis’ to build narratives feeding into policy making. Third\, I illus
 trate regional development perspectives in the example of border regions\,
  understood as national\, regional and local borders. Traditionally\, cros
 s-border integration is associated with an increasing economic integration
 . Yet\, often borders act ‘as a resource’ (Sohn Christophe\, 2014). Th
 e talk illustrates how economic disparities and economic similarities can 
 both play important roles in fostering cross-border spatial integration. I
 n this talk\, I build on a development study of the Bavarian-Czech border\
 , as well as on the results of various research projects conducted between
  2013 and 2019.\n\n\nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis
