A flexibility of uses and sustainable participation are central concepts when planning the urban space of tomorrow. Urban and landscape spaces that are open and can be used flexibly create the prerequisite for this.
Great flexibility of use is the prerequisite for a diverse appropriation of urban space. The basis for this diversity of uses in public space is a simple and robust spatial framework that can be used in various ways and, above all, by everyone. How such uses can look is defined within the framework of a social discourse. Participation is a process in which all the needs of users are brought together. We landscape architects can moderate this important discussion of public space and accompany it as specialists.
