Issue 04/2025 - From idea to heritage: (housing) estates in the field of tension between planning and change
While the last issue was dedicated to the single-family home as the seemingly most individual form of housing, this issue of FORUM STADT focuses on the opposite, on planned (housing) estates. They represent collective solutions to the housing question, experimental urban development ideas, reflect social order and historical upheavals, but above all are also concrete living spaces for many people. With this change of perspective, we are moving away from the purely private and towards the standards of urban development planning, in which individual housing needs are not considered in isolation, but in relation to parameters such as density, building typology, financing and necessary infrastructure. Today, when questions about affordable housing, communal structures and sustainable and sustainable transformation are more pressing than ever, it is essential to look at the history and potential of the planned common.
