Building blocks of a Smart City Munich: Review, reflection and outlook

Academics, planners and designers from the Department of Architecture, Urban Planning and Landscape Planning are once again inviting you to the weekly online lecture series Fusion.

The theme of this semester's lectures is "Perspectives", as the Reform University Kassel is celebrating its 50th anniversary: Time to take stock and look ahead, also at the faculty. Newly appointed professors, guests and old companions show examples of the contributions architecture, urban and landscape planning can make to a rapidly changing society.

Guest professor Korinna Thielen has been head of the Department of Urban Management since this semester and is Smart Cities Coordinator of the Department of Urban Planning and Building Regulations of the City of Munich. In her lecture, she reports on the steps she has been taking since 2015 on the way to an increasingly "smart" city. She summarizes experiences from the Smarter Together pilot project, among others, and steps that the city administration is taking to consolidate and scale promising pilot projects. New approaches and working methods are emerging in many areas within the administration, such as the development of a "digital twin", which are paving the way for integrated "smart city management".
