Valuing urban green space – results from real-lab research
Gardens and parks provide a variety of services for city dwellers: They cool the urban climate, purify the air, provide habitats for plants and animals and recreational spaces for the people who live and work in the city. In order to make the value of these areas for sustainable urban development more tangible, the GartenLeistungen project has recorded and evaluated these diverse effects with numerous partners from science, administration and practice. The project's conference took place on 13 May and the final publication is now available - be sure to take a look!
Summer School: Data Driven Urban Innovation @CITYLAB Berlin
We are participating in the CityLab Berlin Summer School, which will take place from 16 to 29 September 2020. There will be exciting formats to participate in - be there!
POP Farm
Part of our discussion and work is the topic of infrastructure. What infrastructures does the city need? How does infrastructure change with regard to the climate resilient, the edible, the circular city? One of the first projects presented is our POP Farm - a prototype of ultra-local food production in the city. Visit us, see and taste for yourself!
POP Kudamm – we are open!
We are open! Part of the programme has already been prepared, we are looking forward to your contributions and cooperations in the field of research, teaching and real-lab work on urban transformation. Urban spaces are constantly changing: demographically, economically, ecologically, architecturally, culturally and socially. The development of these spaces is discussed and debated. With the aim of interpreting all these aspects and topics artistically and making them creatively tangible, the POP KUDAMM project opened its doors on 29 April 2022 and creates a new temporary art and culture venue in Berlin's City West, directly on the Kudamm.
