NEW UTILIZATIONS – NEW INFRASTRUCTURE – NEW CULTURE OF PARTICIPATION? “LEBENDIGE STADT” FOUNDATION

Since the year 2000, the “Lebendige Stadt” Foundation headed by the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Alexander Otto, successfully is committed to the future of our cities.

The urban diversity made of work, culture, and living needs to be preserved and designed. Focus is placed on the areas light, green, and design of urban space. Since the establishment, the Foundation has initiated and supported numerous best-practice projects with an overall volume of around 25 million euros. Minister Presidents, lord mayors, CEOs, scientists, and leading cultural ﬁ gures have been contributing to this on part of the Foundation.

Apart from its function as project promoter, the Foundation under- stands itself as initiator by supporting the exchange of knowledge and experiences between the cities. The Foundation contributes with its annual conferences to current urban problems and with its annual thematically changing Foundation Award, with which innovative ideas and concepts with particular cultural and artistic value are honored, to the exchange of know-how between local political decision-makers and draws attention to best-practice examples. Furthermore, the Founda- tion reports in its Foundation Journal, which is published two times a year, and in its publication series about diverse and interesting issues in the cities.

The event takes place with the support of the German Association of Cities and Towns.

BRAND – IDENTITY – HOME

PRESENTATION OF THE FOUNDATION AWARD

THE FOUNDATION AWARD

Once a year, the “Lebendige Stadt” Foundation honors in changing categories projects in cities and municipalities with best-practice character and which are recommended for imitation. At the beginning of each year, the Foundation calls for entries by cities, municipalities, institutes, universities, associations, and private persons for its Europe-wide competition. A jury with independent experts assesses the applications and selects the winner. In the past, prizes and acknowledge- ments were awarded for particularly innovative and successful concepts in museums, inner-city residences, sports facilities or playgrounds and leisure areas.

2011 – DIE UNIQUE CITY: BRAND – IDENTITY – HOME

This year, the Foundation was looking for concepts and projects that give cities or communities – but also their districts, quarters or major areas – an own, unique identity, that raise a high sense of identiﬁ cation and the feeling of home in the citizens or that even make them a brand. Decisive were also aspects of maintenance and ﬁ nancial viability. We are talking about projects that have already been realized or are about to be implemented in the near future and that could serve as model for other cities and municipalities.

NEW UTILIZATIONS

Whether industry, mines, or military: there comes the day when the key tenants are gone.

Then, creativity is needed in the municipalities and city councils. What can affected cities learn from the structural change in the Ruhr region? Where can we see success and which errors can be avoided? Which unconventional paths are allowed to be followed? And what can be done if, unfortunately, also most of the citizens are gone, too?

NEW INFRASTRUCTURE

Infrastructure is expensive. This makes it all the more important for cities to set the right course early.

Are ﬁ ber optics networks more important than motorway connections? Would it be better for cities to invest in free WLAN networks rather than public libraries? Are cycle paths more important than streets? And will we need electric sockets at all parking spaces in future? DAY 2, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 10, 2011 NEW INFRASTRUCTURE DORTMUNDER U PROGRAM DAY 2

NEW CULTURE OF PARTICIPATION?

Decisions are becoming more and more complex, appro- val procedures take more and more time and impon- derables are continuously increasing.

Is an increased and earlier participation of citizens the answer or does it only enlarge the problem? Is real citizen participation possible or only utopia?
