In the organizer's words:
Urban development plans are often designed to last for decades. However, they are usually based on needs that are identified in a very short period of time.
In the case of the new plans for the Deutz campus, the framework conditions, society and the city have also changed after 30 years. The decision to demolish in 2012 may have been technically understandable at the time. Today, however, the technical debates about gray energy, preservation, conversion and further construction dominate:
"The road to climate neutrality in Germany is still a long one. [...] Alongside the transport sector, the building sector has been failing to meet its reduction targets for years. [...] Germany produces 220 million tons of construction and demolition waste per year, which accounts for 54 percent of all waste. Only 7 percent of this is recycled and reused in building construction. The rest is used for inferior purposes. [...] Efforts must therefore be almost doubled - smaller adaptation strategies are not enough, a fundamental reorientation of the planning culture is required." (Alexander Stumm, 2025)
But what would such a planning culture look like? How must planning change in order to be effective and future-proof? How can the impact of master plans outlast the time of their creation? And how can we remain flexible without slowing ourselves down - and without participation leading to a standstill?
