Content:
"To do justice to the range and complex interactions of urban living space, the foundation is focusing on three topics with the Baukultur Report 2014/15: 'Mixed Neighbourhoods', 'Public Space and Infrastructure', and 'Planning Culture and Process Quality'. They are at the centre of the debate about the future of the city. In the 2016/17 report, the foundation will cover regional areas. These topics, raised by the foundation a year ago, gain increased importance through the most recent social debates and events. Consider the current housing policy measures and housing promotion, which aim to provide about a million new residences in growth areas over the next four to five years. It matters what these residences look like, how sustainable they are, and how technologically innovative their contribution to climate change is. Moreover, budgets in public infrastructure will run into the billions in coming years for the reduction of maintenance deficits. Each renovation or expansion of a street, bridge, or pipeline infrastructure can bring about a qualitative and design improvement! Not only for the structures themselves, but also for the surrounding public space. Here, as everywhere, in addition to thorough preliminary investigations ('Phase Zero'), an ex post analysis of successful projects is also needed to show which processes (including public involvement) lead to good results. Baukultur is also process culture! [...] The three key issues mentioned were also the subject of three well-attended, public Baukultur workshops, which took place in the first half of 2014 in cooperation with the Akademie der Künste in Berlin. Their results have been included in the Baukultur Report 2014/15."
