Together with specialists and ordinary individuals the congress would like to go into the questions of the role that the historical heritage of the city can play in its future and what actual opportunities arise from this for some IBA cities in particular. At the same time emphasis will be given to international discourse on this topic from the aspect of cities subject to demographic change. Maintaining, renewing and reconstructing the historic cities that have evolved, and ensuring their viability are central tasks and a challenge for local politics and urban planning. For East German cities in particular, that are very severely confronted with a dwindling population, economic stagnation and social disintegration, tackling the material and immaterial historical heritage seems to be of special importance. New, innovative approaches to the historical monuments discourse are under discussion. This starting point opens up special perspectives.
