12th International Model Project Forum

While the previous conference "Changing Urban Images: Planning and Developing Strategies from Neighbourhood to City Scale" (16.-18.02.2011) offered different perspectives on participatory instruments and methods, the 2012 Forum addresses common urban design questions and the question of how cities can respond to phenomena such as peak oil and climate change. It is obvious that ambitious goals for a ‘better city’ are manifold and that they require many singular steps to transform today’s common planning postulates.
