Rebuilding, but better!
Under the slogan #builtbackbetter, Connective Cities organized a specialist forum entitled "Integrated urban development for reconstruction - planning and implementation" at the sixth German-Ukrainian municipal partnership conference in Leipzig on 14 November 2023.
From the German participants, the urban planning offices of the cities of Münster and Munich presented current examples of integrated urban development. It became clear that “integrated” encompasses all levels, from spatial planning to the participatory design of a square. To link these levels, Munich relies on the development of specialist guidelines (climate change adaptation/sponge city, avoidance of heat islands, mobility, strong residential districts) and the definition of action areas. Münster relies above all on the instrument of center funds (smaller sums to promote new ideas for redesign, simple application) and, upgrading the city center as a leisure and recreation area.
