drängenden Herausforderungen. Auf der Konferenz wollen wir uns zu den internationalen Perspektiven, Wirkungen und das gemeinsame Verständnis europäischer Planungskultur für eine transformative Region- und Stadtplanung und Gestaltung austauschen.

The topic of “residential heritage” in the post-Soviet context is at the core of the cbc project. The research has attempted at developing new approaches to the sustainable management of everyday built heritage, exploring the ways in which this legacy has been valorized, transformed, managed, and appropriated in the post-socialist period. The conference reflects on the findings and conclusions, while also looking for ways to develop further perspectives for analysis and action.

We are looking for designs for concise, future-oriented potential spaces that demonstrate functional and social added value.
