Subject of this empirical work is the collection of space within the study of the interaction of city and regional development and the electric energy supply. The question of the relevance of space energy supply and after their relationship with the city and Regional Development opens its importance, inter alias, by classifying this issue in the wider context of research infrastructure. The infrastructure such as highways, water supply, energy supply and telecommunications services, is generally considered strategically important for the development of a city. Against the background of change in the electricity market is also the question of the relevance of space conducted energy supply in the form: Have decentralized supply forms impact on the structure and form of future cities? Because of their Stand underreporting, its capital intensity, its regional economic power and its environmental impact is the grid power supply not only an energy and environmental component to sustainable spatial development, but from a whole perspective as a geopolitical moment. A conceptualization and integration of spatial concept in the study of the interaction of grid energy supply and urban and regional development is necessary to address this complex issue and the research concerns into account. The work creates bases, within the contemplation of the relationship of urban and spatial development and electricity supply, the concept of space to operationally and empirically grasped to make. The methodology is based on the one hand the work in theoretical debates about the research status and with the approach of the technikgeschichtlichen conceptualism, the graph theory and the nzeptionalisierungen! Area term. On the other hand, based on a comparison of the German cities of Stuttgart, Hanover, Mannheim, Frankfurt (Odder), Essence and Platen at two different points in time. An investigation of the period of early electrification (1880-1914) considered the quality differences and similarities in the creation of the technical system in the context of the city. An examination of the current state evaluates a GIS-based analysis of the network topology of the medium voltage networks regarding statistically significant differences. As a result of both investigations is a conclusion regarding the possibility of conceptualization of the space concept for the consideration of the interaction of electric energy supply and urban area development envisaged.
