Deutsches Institut für Stadtbaukunst – författare

The Handbuch der Stadtbaukunst is a compendium of essential urban design expertise. Using 150 examples from over 70 German cities, it illustrates, analyzes, and compares a wide range of urban spaces, courtyards, squares, and streets. The four-volume work impressively documents the qualities of European cities described in the Leipzig Charter: beauty and durability, mixed usage, social diversity, density, and the separation of public and private spaces. Editor Christoph Mäckler builds on textbooks of the early twentieth century by Cornelius Gurlitt, Raymond Unwin, and Josef Stubben and offers a well-grounded framework for city planning. Featuring contributions by Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani, Christoph Mackler, Werner Oechslin, Alexander Pellnitz, Jan Pieper, Birgit Roth, Mirjam Schmidt, Wolfgang Sonne, Jurg Sulzer and Anne Pfeil, and Thomas Will

Given current sustainability requirements, the quality of the built city—its buildings and public spaces—takes on a particular importance. Yet many municipalities complain about a shortage of experts who are capable of effectively designing cities, urban districts, and urban spaces. Building on the 2014 Cologne declaration on urban design education, ‟Die Stadt zuerst” (‟The City First”), the fourteenth Konferenz zur Schönheit und Lebensfähigkeit der Stadt (Conference on the Beauty and Viability of the City) seeks to circumscribe the requisite professional expertise: what do urban planners need to know in order to design and realize sustainable and resilient cities? They require a solid knowledge concerning suitable street infrastructures, sizes, and shapes of blocks, plot configurations, and building types, for a start. Beyond this, they also need the ability to shape urban spaces and their surfaces so that they remain attractive over the long-term and develop characteristic local atmospheres. Critically examines academic teaching in the fields of urban development and urban design Serves as a stimulus regarding current issues such as the fragmentation of planning processes Contains contributions by renowned experts from both research and practice

The urban courtyard and its far-reaching significance for the development of neighborhoods was the topic of the 15th Konferenz zur Schönheit und Lebenfähigkeit der Stadt (Conference on the Beauty and Viability of the City). The division of the city into public and private spaces is a fundamental quality of urban planning because it provides residents with open spaces, gardens, and courtyards on the property, which they can take care of together. This self-organized arrangement strengthens social interaction and promotes democratic behavior in daily negociations with the house community. In lectures and discussions, experts examine social, urban planning, transportation, ecological, and architectural aspects of urban courtyards. Examines urban courtyards in old and new neighborhoodsDiscusses current issues such as social responsibility and sustainabilityContributions from renowned experts from practice and academia

The beauty of public spaces is a key element in changing the future role of city centers from retail to the provision of a space for enjoyment and relaxation. Streets and squares with building facades that augment the city’s image will become the deciding factor in how appealing it is to visitors. An increase in living, working, and cultural offerings in the city will further in greater vitality in urban areas. We can still turn the economic crisis, which has been significantly increased by the pandemic, into an opportunity: How do we want to redesign our cities? The Konferenz zur Schonheit und Lebensfahigkeit der Stadt (Conference on the Beauty and Livability of Cities) has devoted itself to fundamental questions in urban development for over a decade. The contributions in this volume combine economic, social, ecological, and mobility questions concerning city-center development with architectural and urban planning considerations.

The Deutsches Institut für Stadtbaukunst argues that small, dense cities offer the best conditions for long-term functioning as eco-friendly green cities. In order to plan the necessary sustainable revegetation of urban parks, streets, and courtyards, we must first answer the overarching question of how climate protection and resilience measures can integrated into beautiful, livable cities. For over a decade, the Konferenz zur Schönheit und Lebensfähigkeit der Stadt has dedicated itself to fundamental questions in urban development. The contributions in this volume present discussions of integrated approaches to the green city from experts in both theory and practice across a range of different disciplines, as well as from the heads of various German city planning departments.
