Das Ende der Behutsamkeit? Beiträge aus Lehre und Forschung an deutschsprachigen Hochschulen

The need to discuss and reflect existing paradigms of urban renewal is driven by the fact that cities are facing a plurality of different problems within very heterogeneous spatial contexts, and new challenges like the energy efficient redesign of the built environment. The contrary situations of German cities reflect the diversity of challenges associated with urban renewal: Many cities in eastern Germany are confronted with vacancies in housing estates whereas other metropolitan regions in Germany have to deal with upgrading processes and shortages in housing. Thus, facilitating social inclusion, participation and sustainability in urban renewal within different spatial settings are major topics in this issue. Besides, the issue includes contributions on the history and practice of urban renewal in foreign countries and the role of urban renewal in research and education.
