FINAL CONFERENCE of the CENTRAL EUROPE Project

UrbSpace – enhancing the attractiveness and quality of the urban environment

Vienna, September 30th, 2011 Kuppelsaal TU Wien Karlsplatz 13, 4th floor, 1040 Wien

Urban open space planning and design in small and medium-sized towns in Central and Eastern Europe has been the focus of a collaboration project of 13 international partners within the Project ‘UrbSpace’ from 2008 to 2011, implemented by the CENTRAL EUROPE programme, co-financed by the European Union´s Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

The project consortium has reviewed the state of the art in urban space planning in the member states, prepared studies on various aspects of the design process and implemented a number of pilot projects. The final conference - hosted by the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Technology, which was responsible for major project outputs such as the ´Joint Strategy´ - will present the main attainments of the project in connection with and relation to interesting positions of contemporary urban open space planning.

We have invited four keynote speakers to provide their insights into some of the issues raised as experimental planning processes in open spaces, and to stimulate discussion of current issues and potentials in the field of urban space planning and design. Antje Brink will discuss the biodiversity in the open spaces, Daniela Karow-Kluge will bring examples of experimental planning processes in open spaces, Deniz Dizici is one of the winner team of the landscape park Seestadt aspern in Vienna and Andreas Kipar´s speach will be on the view of a smart city.
