Project Documentation: "Landsberg am Lech - Ready for 2055?"

Students from the Master's programs in Urbanism and Architecture worked for several months to look at the long-term development of the town of Landsberg. The aim was to design a long-term spatial strategy. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the region and a methodology for working with future trends, the next 30 years were examined. Four student teams each present a vision of the future for “Landsberg 2055” and use an overall strategy and specific spatial proposals to show possible development paths for the region and local stakeholders.

 

The four student teams focus on different topics and show different development paths for the year 2055. How can resilient land use, inclusive mobility and social cohesion be strengthened and interlinked to achieve sustainable growth? How can the prospects of young residents be improved and education and innovation become key catalysts for positive development? How can Landsberg become a municipality that leads by example through the consistent implementation of sustainable mobility, a liveable city center and a self-sufficient energy supply? And how can Landsberg carry today's qualities into the future in order to be “just as great, only better” in 2055?

Throughout the world, cities are increasingly developing exceptional architecture projects not only for their actual functions, but also for contributing to urban transformation. In this process, star architects and multi-national design, engineering and planning firms are intricately involved. This seminar series aimed at investigating that contested practice and its urban implications from various perspectives, which are currently still fractured between architecture, urban studies, geography, sociology, economics and tourism studies.

For the past three years this seminar series gathered experts in architecture, urban planning, urban and economic geography annually at the Villa Vigoni in Menaggio, Italy.
