The BA4 students started their first urban planning design studio, “Transformation and Urban Renewal in Knielingen, Karlsruhe”, with two excursions to both the planning site and to some of Karlsruhe´s interesting buildings, housing projects, public spaces, and green areas.
We wish them luck for the upcoming semester and look forward to discussing their design ideas and development concepts for the eastern part of Knielingen.

We congratulate our graduates on successfully completing their master’s degrees. All projects were addressing relevant topics in urban development, such as the renewal of the city centre in Pforzheim (Aurélie Pha), the Ecological Transformation of Karlsruhe (Gorkem Yagmur Yuksel), the built heritage of the Olympic Games in Sarajevo (Karla Jukic), and developing spaces of integration for the arrival of refugees (Magdalena Hehnen) – well done! We wish them all the best for their future!

The master students of the design studio Blue-Green Transformation started the semester with a field trip to Ettlingen, exploring the potential of the Alb Valley and spinning mill area. During this semester, the students will work together with the Chair of Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources.

We are pleased to announce that our team at ISTB is complete! Susanne Rettmar as secretary and Johannes Hermann (former graduate from KIT!) as academic assistant have just started with the summer semester. Welcome and it’s great that you are with us!

Universities as resources for a transformative planning culture. The "Basel Theses" from April 2024, emphasize the key role of universities in promoting a transformative planning culture. They call for interdisciplinary education for future planners, active involvement of universities in societal discourse, and stronger networking between research and practice. The goal is to shape cities and regions to be future-proof, resilient, and sustainable.

It is the second-largest city in Ukraine with a population of about two million, before Russia's war of aggression broke out. As one of the most important scientific, industrial, trade, and transportation centers of Ukraine, Kharkiv has played a significant role in the nation's history. The booklet is available at the chair.

In order to reduce emissions and conserve resources, it is necessary to align urban planning with the sustainability strategy of sufficiency and to consider how less can be enough. Simplicity and renunciation do not necessarily mean a poorer design or less high-quality urban spaces, but rather offer potential for livable neighborhoods that are suitable for everyday use. As part of the Stegreif project, an urban development concept for a mixed-use district with high-quality open spaces is to be developed.

What does the future of Freiburg's city center look like? How can it be better connected with the neighboring urban spaces - spatially and functionally? What measures can be taken to adapt the city center to the climate transition? Students from the Chair of International Urban Planning and Design and the Institute of Transportation addressed these questions in the summer semester 2024. In cooperation with the city of Freiburg, they developed forward-looking and experimental design approaches with new programmatic and traffic planning perspectives.

On June 18th, the second mid-term presentation of the urban design studio "Context" in Heilbronn took place. The students displayed their conceptual approaches, discussed the suggested goals, and presented their first design ideas. We are grateful to our guest reviewer, landscape architect Jan Dieterle, for his valuable critiques and are looking forward to seeing the studio's final results.

We want to establish a new series of inter disciplinary discussions about how we teach, learn, design, acknowledge, and live in the ever-changing urban landscape. The format is an open invitation for everyone wishing to discuss the city. At changing intervals, discussions will occur where each talk sets the theme for the following.

The master students currently enrolled in our urban studio presented their current work's status in the second mid term presentation. The evaluation of the analysis and excursion to Tel Aviv resulted in various approximations of the heterotopian urban landscape of the planning area which in turn led to different strategic approaches and conceptual ideas. As part of our productive cooperation with the city, we were joined via zoom by architects Avia Ben-Yakar and Alon Matos, head planning coordinators in the urban planning department of Tel Aviv-Yafo, who provided the students with additional professional feedback and valuable insights for the design steps ahead.

As part of our cooperative urban design studio "Manshiya-Heterotopias", students from the Chair for International Urban Planning and the Institute for Transport Studies are taking part in an eight days excursion to Tel Aviv, Israel. Besides exploring the design site, we meet local urban and mobility planners, architects, urban activists, and NGO representatives. Amongst others, we discussed current urban renewal projects in the city with local players, like the recent opening of the first light train line in the city, and the gentrification of slums neighborhoods. We are gathering first-hand information and formulating an overview of the planning complexity that can be sensed currently in almost every corner of this multifaceted city on the Mediterranean shore.

The book "Large Housing Estates under Socialism" by Barbara Engel and Nikolas Rogge is now available via open access.

We congratulate Frederik Johann on a very successful master's degree! His thesis "City and Water - Concepts for a Resilient Neighborhood in Paris" addresses the highly relevant issue of increasing heavy rainfall events and their consequences for sealed urban spaces. He has analyzed flood protection concepts in various cities and, based on this, developed solutions for water-resilient neighborhoods. In Ivry-sur-Seine he finds a very subtle, natural-looking way of dealing with the existing buildings. There are innovative symbioses of different uses and unexpected experiences of special landscapes. The work is not only a valuable contribution to building on the water and with the water, but also to continue to build, to sensibly rebuild, and supplement existing neighborhoods - a contribution to sustainable urban development that is not only water-resistant but also armed against other crises.

An online event with further information regarding the planned excursion to Tel Aviv will be held today, Tuesday, April 11th, at 6:00 PM. All interested are invited to join.
Looking forward to seeing you!

International Symposium & Workshop, Feb. 22nd-24th, 2023
The Russian war of aggression against Ukraine affects interdisciplinary post-Soviet and post-socialist/Eastern European urban research. As an international academic community researching in this context, we have perceived these events as highly critical, which urged us to initiate a platform for identifying short- and medium-term research perspectives and exploring new possibilities for research dialogue with colleagues from the post-Soviet and post-socialist/Eastern European space. The symposium supported by the Volkswagen Foundation, aims to offer a constructive and open atmosphere to reflect on and systematize the consequences of the current developments for interdisciplinary urban research related to Eastern Europe.
