The growing importance of knowledge has reached almost all areas of life in our society and is changing the way we live, work and interact. The conference will focus on the current changes of working environments, social and societal interaction and the resulting demands on private and public spaces. The production and application of knowledge are closely linked to the spatial structure of the city and its architecture. What kind of social changes can be observed? What challenges arise from new working models and forms? How is education provided today and how will it be provided in the future? 10 reports of scientists will examine and discuss currently observed developments from different professional perspectives, such a sociology, geography, urban planning and architecture.
On Friday in Session 1 two of the panelists are Christiane Müller and Jonas Gläßer from our Chair of Urban Development. They will talk about "The spatial design of knowledge intensive working locations in the City of Munich".
