Project Documentation: "Landsberg am Lech - Ready for 2055?"
Students from the Master's programs in Urbanism and Architecture worked for several months to look at the long-term development of the town of Landsberg. The aim was to design a long-term spatial strategy. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the region and a methodology for working with future trends, the next 30 years were examined. Four student teams each present a vision of the future for “Landsberg 2055” and use an overall strategy and specific spatial proposals to show possible development paths for the region and local stakeholders.
The four student teams focus on different topics and show different development paths for the year 2055. How can resilient land use, inclusive mobility and social cohesion be strengthened and interlinked to achieve sustainable growth? How can the prospects of young residents be improved and education and innovation become key catalysts for positive development? How can Landsberg become a municipality that leads by example through the consistent implementation of sustainable mobility, a liveable city center and a self-sufficient energy supply? And how can Landsberg carry today's qualities into the future in order to be “just as great, only better” in 2055?

The chair of urban development participated in this years' AESOP conference in Prague, Czech Republic, with three presentations and one poster presentation. Alain Thierstein presented current research in the projects "housing, employment, mobility" as well as civil society participation networks (based on work by Agnes Förster), which met with wide interest. Additionally, Fabian Wenner and Lukas Gilliard presented their Masters' and PhD thesis topics, respectively, which addressed land taxation on the one hand and ways forward in planning education on the other.
The chair is delighted that the paper by Lukas Gilliard and Alain Thierstein "Competencies revisited: An educational approach to conceptualise planning as a boundary discipline" was awarded the best paper prize of the conference. Congratulations!
