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?

pandemic has had in various fields of spatial development and planning. Markus Weinig and Alain Thierstein have published the article "Navigating Post-Pandemic Urban Development: Revisiting 2021 Observations on COVID-19's Impact on Urban Interaction, Space Modification, and Governance" in the international journal Town Planning Review. The article examines the transformative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on urban habitats and spatial governance.
The viewpoint article revisits observations from 2021, which discussed how the pandemic could affect urban interaction and spatial arrangement. Markus Weinig and Alain Thierstein explore the impact of social distancing and working from home on density and urban interaction. The article highlights three critical areas of development: the adaptability of urban spaces, the resilience of urban structures and the evolving dynamics of urban governance. How can cities and spaces be managed more flexibly and responsively? The authors emphasise the need for a multi-layered approach to urban planning that includes democratic dialogue and regional cooperation. They conclude that while significant changes have taken place during the pandemic, a fundamental shift in urban governance and management has yet to occur, emphasising the need for continuous innovation and adaptability in urban development.
