Cooperative planning // FUSION retrospectives with Ingrid Lübke in conversation with Ursula Stein & Markus Leibenath

Cooperative planning - Ingrid Lübke - 1990-2007
Interviewees: Ursula Stein, Honorary Professor at the Department of Urban and Regional Planning I FB06, Markus Leibenath, Department of Landscape Planning and Communication I FB06

Cooperative approaches have changed the theory and practice of spatial planning more than almost any other idea in recent decades. The dialogical departure from the "God-father model" and the democratization intended with it has many facets and has occupied administrators and politicians from Aachen to Zittau since Stuttgart 21 at the latest. Ingrid Lübke brought early experiences with integrated development and citizen-oriented planning from the Netherlands to Kassel and brought them to life in the city and university. Ursula Stein and Markus Leibenath discuss how the increased demands of committed citizens can be reconciled with the requirements of effective planning in times of housing shortages and climate change.

FUSION Retrospectives

The Reform University Kassel is celebrating its 50th anniversary. 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.
