Last Tuesday, February 7, students of urbanism and architecture were invited by the city of Mühldorf am Inn to present their projects on "Mühldorf 2053". For one semester five teams had worked intensively in the interdisciplinary urbanistic project. Based on an excursion, spatial-morphological analyses and a discussion of future trends and their interactions with the city, alternative futures for "Mühldorf 2053" were finally developed. Behind each of these is a spatial strategy for action for 30 years, which, as a sequence of different measures by certain actors and at certain points in time, shows a path for the future development of the district town of Mühldorf am Inn.
In the hall of the Haberkasten, the five teams presented their work to Mayor Michael Hetzl and city architect Birgit Weichselgartner and Prof. Alain Thierstein and faced the discussion of their analyses and proposed measures. The different teams focused on different issues. How can urban qualities be created through redensification and new mobility infrastructures? How can the countryside and surrounding areas serve as an experimental field and backbone for resource-conserving and cycle-oriented economic activity? How can inner development contribute to climate adaptation and, at the same time, to a strong green structure outside the inner city areas? What role does education for young and old play in the development of the city, its mobility and its labor market? How can Mühldorf's urban and street spaces make a stronger contribution to the social interaction and health of Mühldorf's citizens?
At the opening of the exhibition in the evening, guests from Mühldorf had the opportunity to take a look at the works and to talk to the students. Some city council members also took the opportunity to have the students' ideas explained to them and to exchange ideas.
The works will be on public display from February 9 to 24 in the town hall in Mühldorf am Inn. In addition, a brochure documenting the work will be published from mid-April. The brochure will be available for download as a PDF on the website of the Chair of Spatial Development.
