Conference venue and practical information is a city in the German state of Hessen, located in the southern part of the Frankfurt Metropolitan Region. As the former capital of a prosperous sovereign country, the Grand Duchy of , Darmstadt gained international prominence. This further grew with rapid industrialization in the 19th century, as well as at the beginning of the 20th century, when Darmstadt became an important center for the art movement of Jugendstil, the German variant of Art Nouveau. However, during the World War II, over three quarters of the inner city was destroyed, leading to a comprehensive reconstruction and renovation period afterwards. Nonetheless, the city played host to numerous technology companies, research institutes, the European Space Operations Centre and Centre for Heavy Ion Research, leading it to be officially promoted as the "City of Science" since 1997.

Venue: Faculty of Architecture L3 | 01 El-Lissitzky-Straße 1 64287 Darmstadt

1 TRAVEL From Frankfurt (Main) Airport: By Bus: The easiest way to get to Darmstadt is through the Airliner Bus, it leaves from Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 every 30 minutes from 6:25 am to 7:14 pm, and up to every 45 minutes after that. The Airliner Bus costs from 8 to 11€, tickets can be purchased directly from the bus driver when boarding the vehicle. The Airliner has multiple stops in Darmstadt, the most central one and close to the venue is Darmstadt - Luisenplatz. For more information on the bus: https://www.heagmobibus.de/sites/default/files/media/Airliner_Faltblatt_2019.pdf

By Taxi: Taxis are right in front of the exit of your terminal at . It can cost around 50 to 100€ the trip and the vehicles capacity varies from 4 to 7 passengers.

By Rental Car: Several rental cars companies are available at the Frankfurt airport. You can find them at the Car Rental Centers in both terminals (1 and 2).

By Train: Frankfurt airport also has its own train station. You can buy your ticket in the electronic vending machine right at the platform of the station.

2 PLACES TO SEE Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt offers interesting places to visit and explore. One of the main attractions of the city is the Wedding Tower (Der Turm). This hand-shaped tower was a wedding gift for the Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig and Princess Eleonore of Solms-Hohensolms-Lich in 1907. The tower can be seen from some parts of town and is located in the beautiful neighborhood of Mathildenhöhe. Next to it is St. Mary Magdalene Chapel, a Russian revival style church with gold domes dated from 1897-1899. The site also includes the Institut Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt for local artists, a café that becomes a beer garden during summer and a nice park. Mathildenhöhe neighborhood is also very pleasant to go for a walk. Der Turm is located at Alexandraweg 23, 64287 Darmstadt.

Rosenhöhe Another option to see in Darmstadt is the beautiful rose garden at the Rosenhöhe Park. The Rosenhöhe is a former vineyard that was turned into an English style landscape garden in the beginning of the 19th century. In the neighboring area you can also find some modern and art nouveau houses and the Hofcafé at Rosenhöhe 64287 Darmstadt, in case you fancy a cup of coffee.

Waldspirale Equally interesting is the intriguing Waldspirale building near Martinsviertel neighborhood, or if in need of a nice walk or little hike: the Ludwigsturm (a 15-minute walk from the 8 tram Marienhöhe stop) that provides a magnificent vista over the town of Darmstadt and the Rhineland below, as well as the Burg Frankenstein Castle, a possible inspiration for the famous Mary Shelley Frankenstein, which is one hour and a half walk from the last Eberstadt tram stop (tram 7 or 8).

3 Conference program In addition to planners and designers, a variety of key actors are involved in the creation of urban space. Lawyers, politicians, geographers, engineers, social scientists, individuals, and communities, are some of those who play a significant role in designing, planning, and vitalizing urban space. In order to maximize the synergies between disciplines and knowledge being produced outside academia, we have to go beyond a multidisciplinary approach towards the creation of urban space. Here, we argue for adopting an inter- and trans-disciplinary approach, one that seeks integrating bodies of knowledge and methods into an overlapping synthesis of approaches. Planning, as a young discipline, is trying to create a unity of intellectual frameworks to understand and enhance the creation of cities.

This discussion is particularly important when planning inclusive spaces. Inclusion is a multifaceted concept with its various spatial, social, and economic factors. Often what makes a city more inclusive from one perspective has a negative or controversial effect from another. For example, the co-presence of different social groups has long been a controversial topic, as from one point of view it becomes a question of safety, while form the other, it is considered as an issue of exclusion. Though the constellation of factors can often be at odds with one another, there is a need for a balanced and holistic approach that takes today’s changing and evolving narratives of inclusion into consideration. Understanding the ways by which inhabitants of the city- as critical participants- provide unprecedented and innovative urban paradigms is equally crucial to this notion of inclusive urban space. The intrinsic links, conflicts and power relations between all actors through social, professional, and political processes and their interplay within the physical dimensions of the city must be well understood and worked on.

The aim of the conference is therefore to bring different perspectives to the discussion by critically examining the knowledge upon which what we call planning is formed. We hope to offer the participants new insights by bridging the limitations of a single discipline; directing the debate towards an exploration of the countless opportunities but also challenges of inter- and trans-disciplinary thinking.

Prof. Benjamin Davy Keynote lecture: “Resilient sustainability planning. Or was it sustainable resilience planning?” Tuesday, April 2 – 18:30 Room 92

For more than 20 years, Ben Davy has been a professor of land policy, land management, and municipal geoinformation at the School of Spatial Planning, University of Dortmund (Deutschland). Born in 1956 in Wien (Austria), he graduated from law school in 1980. He gradually became a planner while working as research assistant and associate professor at the School of Architecture and Spatial Planning, TU Wien. His first book in English, which he wrote as the Joseph Schumpeter Fellow at Harvard Law School (1994–95), deals with the pitfalls of monorational concepts of environmental justice in the siting of hazardous waste facilities. Essential Injustice (1997) presents an early version of what Ben Davy is calling “polyrationality”. Addressing many voices and many rationalities, polyrational planning demands that we “plan it without a condom” (title of an article in Planning Theory 7[3] 301–317). He is teaching BSc and MSc courses on planning theory, land policy, property, food injustice, real estate assessment, border studies, and (occasionally) selfies. His

6 favorite research strategies are doubt, curiosity, and more doubt. Humor is also OK. Ben Davy is Essay Editor of Planning Theory, co-editor of Town Planning Review, and a member of the editorial board of the Journal of the American Planning Association and Planning Theory and Practice. He has been a mentor in the AESOP PhD workshops in Wien (2005), Manchester (2009), Belfast (2013), Stare Lesna (2015), and Aveiro (2017). As co-founder of the International Academic Association on Planning, Law, and Property Rights (PLPR), he has been Vice President and President of PLPR from 2010 to 2016. In 2017, Ben Davy was elected Vice President and currently is the President of the Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP).

Excursions and workshops

Excursion: City Walk Darmstadt Prof. Jörg Dettmar For the excursion we will meet at 09:30 at the courtyard atrium of Faculty of Architecture at Campus Lichtwiese. From there we will have a walk in the city of Darmstadt and we will be informed about the city's past, its architecture, landscape, planning, and culture. It is a great chance to get to know a relatively small but an important German town that is home to industry, education, science, and a history of Second World War, as well as a very diverse socio- demographic composition in Germany.

This excursion will be led by our professor Jörg Dettmar. Prof. Dettmar heads the Chair for Design and Landscape Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture since 2000. In 1992, he completed his PhD on the ecology of industrial derelict land in the Ruhr District, a region he has always been affiliated with. He is devoted to several research projects, which are funded by different German federal ministries due to their outstanding contributions to interdisciplinary debate, including the projects “Sustainable Urban Landscape in the Metropolis Ruhr” and “Integrated Regenerative Energy Concepts in Urban Areas”.

Workshop 1: Time management strategies for doctoral students Ernestine Schneider Writing your PHD thesis requires a lot of energy, endurance and discipline. The workshop will give you guidance tools and strategies for your thesis time management, which we will explore in an interactive approach. E.g. How to develop individual strategies? How to allocate time? How to set realistic goals on productivity? How to take control of the writing process? How to

9 have a daily routine? Strategies for your “write-life-balance”: How to stay productive and healthy? This workshop is facilitated and conducted by Ernestine Schneider. Ernestine is a consultant and coach also in the field of intercultural consulting.

Workshop 2: Writing strategies for PhD students Ute Henning Writing a PhD is a challenge – not only because you carry out research independently and because you have to manage your PhD study as a project, but also because writing itself poses many difficulties. How do you get from reading the literature to writing your own draft? What techniques can you use to write a well-structured text? How do you reach a writing flow? And how do you go about revising and correcting such a long text? In this workshop, we will address these issues by discussing and using helpful writing strategies for PhD students. You will get to try these strategies by working on your own thesis. Ute Henning is a writing tutor and German teacher at TU Darmstadt. She is currently finishing her PhD project on students’ attitudes towards languages and multilingualism. Please bring your own laptops for this workshop.

Workshop 3: Critical thinking Nathalie Jean-Baptiste The 'Critical Thinking' workshop will be led by our guest instructor Dr. Nathalie Jean-Baptiste. She is a Marie Curie Global Fellow and her work focuses on vulnerability assessment and climate related risks in low-income countries and the relationship between infrastructure, society and the environment. She is an architect graduated from the Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City, holds a Master of Science and a Doctorate in Urban Studies from the Bauhaus University. Prior to joining the Technical University of Darmstadt, she worked as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research in Leipzig for 4 years. She has taught different courses at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at the Bauhaus University in Weimar.

Parallel sessions

Track 1: ‘Public space’ and the dilemma of inclusion Chaired by: Prof. Dr. Astrid Ley and Dr. Anshika Suri

Through opening up a discussion on the relationship of public space to commonly inherent concepts, such as inclusion, accessibility, openness and safety, the aim of this track is to question the validity of the concept of public space from the perspective of inclusion in all its forms. Under whose authority does public space production fall? Is the process of decision-making disputed between advocates of the right to the city and designers

10 of inclusive cities? If spaces are to be claimed through the right to the city, how is the notion of public space affected? And how can this space be socially produced? Which role does the actual public/private legal status play? Moreover, designing inclusive cities brings up the question of the role of the designer as mediator. Design is understood as transforming the intangible aspects of space into tangible experiences, while creativity refers to connecting both previously unconnected frames of references and disciplines for better practices. As such, it begs the questions of how could interdisciplinarity, within the design process, maximize the ability of space to accommodate the unpredictable? How can adaptability and change over time be enabled in the process?

In line with that, inhabitants of the city are seen as critical participators in creating both traditional and innovative urban paradigms; practices that fall under terms such as experimental urbanism, tactical urbanism, DIY-urbanism etc. These practices should be integrated in discussions and processes of inclusion. However, these practices should also be critically understood, for example through questioning whether the tactical can also be strategic. The aim here is not to advocate for notions of “the people vs. the state” or “top-down vs. bottom- up”, it is rather to explore how we could learn from practices that simply make a space public.

Track 2: Health promoting urban planning and design Chaired by: Prof. Dr. Adriana Allen and Dr. Susana Restrepo Rico

Current urban living has brought with it both health benefits and risks to its dwellers. On one hand, thanks to a broad supply of basic goods and varied services, quality of life and life expectancy have been on the rise for the last centuries. On the other hand, environmental pollution—such as noise found in high-density settlements—and sedentary lifestyle (e.g. long sitting hours in offices and schools) promote obesity, diabetes, respiratory, heart and circulatory diseases, and take their toll on mental health (Faskunger, 2011; Lederbogen et al., 2011; Peen, 2010; Dye, 2008; WHO, 2007, 2014; Pedersen CB & Mortensen PB, 2001). These non-communicable diseases cause 86% of the current deaths around the globe (WHO, 2013) while physical inactivity is the fourth leading factor for global mortality (WHO, 2009).

Previous research has shown that the built environment influences its users’ behavior in many ways. Some of the related questions are: How does the built environment influence the way people move? How do people feel and what kind of emotions are evoked by different contexts? Which environmental and spatial parameters are experienced as stressful or relaxing? Still, there is limited knowledge among local stakeholders, urban designers, and policy makers. Therefore, this track deals with the central question of how to plan, design, develop, and maintain health- promoting cities. This track aims to stimulate a transdisciplinary discussion towards minimizing negative urban impact on citizens’ physical and mental health. Contributions could also deal with topics such as

11 active travel and walkable cities, urban green and blue infrastructures, new material technologies reducing noise and urban heat islands.

Track 3: Citizenship and governance in the production of space Chaired by: Prof. Dr. Roger Keil and Dr. Nebojsa Camprag

The city is produced by a variety of actors through a complex interaction of scales. Both top-down and bottom-up initiatives and everyday life practices negotiate the management of the space-making process. How should we approach planning in a world where what is spatially created is often a consequence of complex socio-political, and to a certain extent also technical, interactions? In order to get involved in the ethical dimension of a city’s development, different actions and approaches can be taken. Debates on the just city are very vibrant, while discussions on what a just city is and how it can be achieved can become heavily contested. From focuses on citizen participation, access to services, housing, infrastructure to the very availability of choice, no consensus exists in academic debates on what exactly should be considered within the frameworks of a just city. Can we create a just city through adaptive structures provided by smart city networks? And when discussing justice in relation to services should we be thinking about the availability of those services in general or about the accessibility of certain groups to those services?

Track 4: From sustainable to resilient urban strategies Chaired by: Prof. Dr. Benjamin Davy and Dr. Björn Hekmati

Thinking about what inclusion is and how it can be achieved cannot be separated from reflections on generational equity and discussions on sustainability and resilience. While the sustainability fad seems to be making way for discussions on resilience, this track looks into benefits and challenges associated with both approaches when aiming to build inclusive cities. Resilience continues to gain attention as both concept and strategy and as a moving target that is never fully accomplished, especially when it comes to an ever-changing built environment and political structure. The central challenge of resilience lies not in building the capacity to be robust to hazards and risks; it is rather in dealing with complex urban systems and how their social and ecological subsystems interact. Going along with the discussions on urban political ecology, cities—rather as human-dominated ecosystems than places where the nature ends—are in turn the places where social-ecological production of urban inequality is spatialized. Considering the ecological and political consequences of global urbanization processes—be it in the form of gentrification, sprawl, or deindustrialization—dualities such as

12 city and rural, urban and suburban, and man-made and natural are currently receiving critical attention from sustainability and resilience standpoints.

The main questions of this track are: How could resilience strategies cope with the relative lack of financial and human resources? How does the discussion on inclusion fit into these debates on sustainability and resilience? In what ways can the concept of urban political ecology be operationalized to enable inclusion? How can the central question of ‘who produces what kind of social-ecological configurations for whom’ be addressed in the urban discipline?
