Stadt Bauen. 40 Jahre Deutscher Städtebaupreis 1980-2020

“Cities develop through spatial cooperation and social participation processes against the backdrop of the respective current challenges. The German Urban Design Award shows the high quality with which cities contribute to solving this task, and it always knows how to bring projects into the discussion that stand for continuity and departure. Urban design is the discipline that is able to weave the diversity of individual architectural projects into a design spatial unity and to link public space and landscape architecture with it….40 years of the Urban Design Award stand for the direct exchange of theory and practice in the real laboratory city with a view to people, nature, landscape, and urban design.” Elisabeth Merk, President of DASL and Philip Kurz, Managing Director Wüstenrot Foundation.
