Integrated Urban Development // FUSION Retrospectives with Rainer Meyfahrt and Volker Mohr

Integrated Urban Development - Rainer Meyfahrt - 1974-1990
Interlocutor: 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, as one of the university lecturers of the first hour, explored the complex relationships between an integrated urban development and the manifold specialized planning and brought them to life for students. In Kassel, he is probably best remembered today for his commitment to an expansion of the tramway, which he then successfully pushed through for many years as managing director of the KVG. With his former student and head of the Office of 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 celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Time to take stock and look ahead, also in architecture, urban and landscape planning, as part of the FUSION lecture series.

The FUSION "Retrospectives" in the winter semester of 2021/22 will focus on where we have come from and what enduring accents our department has set. Pioneers who were central to the formation of the department's profile will present their positions and contributions in a retrospective 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 society undergoing rapid change.
