Integrated urban development // FUSION retrospectives with Rainer Meyfahrt and Volker Mohr

Integrated urban development - Rainer Meyfahrt - 1974-1990
Discussion partner: Volker Mohr, Head of the Office for Urban Planning, Building Supervision and Monument Protection of the City of Kassel and former student of Rainer Meyfahrt

Rainer Meyfahrt was one of the first university lecturers to explore the complex relationships between integrated urban development and the diverse specialist planning and brought them to life for students. In Kassel today, he is probably best remembered for his commitment to the expansion of the streetcar system, which he was able to successfully implement for many years as Managing Director of KVG. With his former student and head of the Office for Urban Planning, Volker Mohr, he discusses the role of integrated urban development for a sustainable transformation of the city, which he continues to advocate.

FUSION Retrospectives

The Reform University Kassel is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Time to take stock and look ahead in architecture, urban and landscape planning as part of the FUSION lecture series.

The FUSION "Retrospectives" in the winter semester 2021/22 will focus on where we come from and what lasting accents our department has set. Pioneers who were central to the development of the department's profile will present positions and contributions in a review of their work at the university and beyond. In conversation with guests and colleagues, they reflect on the significance of architecture, urban and landscape planning at a reform university and in a rapidly changing society.
