Was­ser­stadt — Was­ser als Kapi­tal

The con­fe­rence “Water City — Water as an Asset” addres­ses the incre­asing importance of rain­wa­ter as a valuable resour­ce in cities in the face of hea­vy rain­fall and drought. Floo­ding and pro­lon­ged dry peri­ods are incre­asing­ly pro­ble­ma­tic in Euro­pean cities. In Pol­and, fre­quent rain­fall cau­ses mil­li­ons of dol­lars in dama­ge, while ari­di­ty puts a strain on green spaces and resi­dents’ health.

His­to­ri­cal­ly, rivers were con­side­red a bles­sing, and cities were plan­ned with water in mind. In Ger­ma­ny, “water-sen­­si­­ti­­ve urban deve­lo­p­ment” incor­po­ra­tes effi­ci­ent water resour­ce manage­ment into plan­ning to make cities more resi­li­ent to cli­ma­te chan­ge. The con­fe­rence will dis­cuss mea­su­res such as rain­wa­ter sto­rage via green roofs, redu­cing sea­led sur­faces and res­to­ring water­cour­ses. The objec­ti­ve is to rai­se awa­re­ness among city offi­ci­als and resi­dents to adopt a water-sen­­si­­ti­­ve mind­set.

The con­fe­rence is dedi­ca­ted to the topic of urban deve­lo­p­ment from dif­fe­rent per­spec­ti­ves. The aspects of mas­ter plans, design gui­de­lines and stan­dards in urban plan­ning will be dis­cus­sed, inclu­ding the revi­ta­liza­ti­on of a for­mer mili­ta­ry area for a new resi­den­ti­al dis­trict in Ulm by archi­tect Joerg Th. Coqui. The col­la­bo­ra­ti­on bet­ween cities and pri­va­te inves­tors known as “URBAN AGREE­MENTS” will be high­ligh­ted, inclu­ding the tal­lest “green” resi­den­ti­al high-rise, Donau Flats in Vien­na, and inves­tor com­mit­ments, pre­sen­ted by Jas­min Sora­via, CEO of SoReal GmbH. Also dis­cus­sed will be invest­ments in urban pro­jects and the role of archi­tec­tu­ral com­pe­ti­ti­ons in desig­ning opti­mal buil­dings, with examp­les inclu­ding a Ger­man archi­tec­tu­ral com­pe­ti­ti­on and the open call com­pe­ti­ti­on for Rynek Łazar­ski in Poz­nań, pre­sen­ted by archi­tect Peter Achat­zi and initia­tor archi­tect Dawid Stre­bicki.

REVI­TAL TOTAL-Revi­ta­liza­ti­on of negle­c­ted inner city are­as

Fol­lo­wing the adop­ti­on of a new urban rede­ve­lo­p­ment law in Pol­and in win­ter 2015, future pro­jects are expec­ted to reach a new dimen­si­on. Pre­vious urban rede­ve­lo­p­ment pro­jects in Pol­and often had to do only with rede­ve­lo­p­ment and did not always achie­ve the hoped-for revi­ta­liza­ti­on of the city dis­tricts. Lodz, Bytom and Wal­brzych were sel­ec­ted as model pro­ject cities. The con­fe­rence dis­cus­sed the first expe­ri­en­ces of the­se pro­jects and com­pared them with Ger­man urban rede­ve­lo­p­ment con­cepts and alre­a­dy rea­li­zed pro­jects in order to ana­ly­ze the dif­fe­rent start­ing situa­tions and pro­ces­ses. The goals of the mee­ting included defi­ning con­cepts and pro­ces­ses, empha­si­zing inter­di­sci­pli­na­ri­ty, sti­mu­la­ting par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on of dif­fe­rent stake­hol­ders and sha­ring know­ledge about pro­blems and risks of urban rede­ve­lo­p­ment pro­jects. Pre­sen­ta­ti­ons were given by: Man­fred Küh­ne (Head of Depart­ment Sena­te Depart­ment for Urban Deve­lo­p­ment and Envi­ron­ment, Ber­lin), Jacek Grunt-Mejer (Coor­di­na­tor of the Pro­gram of Revi­ta­liza­ti­on in War­saw), Dipl.-Ing.

GREEN CITY — The city as a gar­den

The con­fe­rence addres­sed the cur­rent situa­ti­on of sus­taina­bi­li­ty in cities. With glo­bal envi­ron­men­tal impacts main­ly due to cities, the ques­ti­on ari­ses how we can crea­te a sta­ble and huma­ne envi­ron­ment for urban resi­dents. This is beco­ming incre­asing­ly important in light of ongo­ing demo­gra­phic chan­ge and the “renais­sance of cities.” Spe­cial atten­ti­on will be given to the poten­ti­al of green and open spaces in cities, which can pro­vi­de not only envi­ron­men­tal but also eco­no­mic bene­fits. Spea­k­ers included: Dr.-Ing. Jan Kamiń­ski (Chair­man of the Coun­cil for Spa­ti­al Cul­tu­re at the Mayor of Lub­lin), Land­scape Archi­tect Klaus Hop­pe (Direc­tor of Hor­ti­cul­tu­re Ham­burg), Land­scape Archi­tect Lorenz Dex­ler (TOPOTEK1), Andrea Geri­scher (Pro­ject Mana­ger IGA Ber­lin 2017), — Archi­tect Dr. Peter Apel (Pla­nungs­bü­ro STADT­KIN­DER).

INNO­VA­TI­VE LIVING — smart pri­ce — smart mate­ri­al — hybrid house

The 5th War­saw Archi­tec­tu­re Talks focu­sed on the topic of Inno­va­ti­ve Housing and high­ligh­ted the expe­ri­en­ces of the IBA Ham­burg as well as the housing pro­ject “Nowe Żer­ni­ki” in Wro­claw. For­­ward-loo­king approa­ches to housing con­s­truc­tion were dis­cus­sed, inclu­ding low-cost con­s­truc­tion, intel­li­gent buil­ding mate­ri­als and fle­xi­ble resi­den­ti­al archi­tec­tu­re. The event offe­red insights into IBA Hamburg’s con­cepts regar­ding low-cost con­s­truc­tion, ener­­gy-smart faca­des and adap­ta­ble hou­ses. At the same time, the resi­den­ti­al pro­ject “Nowe Żer­ni­ki” was pre­sen­ted, a sus­tainable neigh­bor­hood in Wro­claw that aims for a high qua­li­ty of life and a varie­ty of uses.

Lar­ge sett­le­ment — Update 2.1

In Euro­pe, lar­ge housing deve­lo­p­ments have been evol­ving for deca­des. Stra­te­gies vary by time and place: from buil­ding insu­la­ti­on to living envi­ron­ment impro­ve­ments to urban rede­ve­lo­p­ment pro­grams. Yet the­se mea­su­res have not always led to the pre­ven­ti­on of resi­dent dis­pla­ce­ment and demo­li­ti­ons. After 2000, increased reflec­tion fol­lo­wed, also after sub­s­idy pro­grams. Are the­re simi­lar pro­ces­ses in Pol­and or is the struc­tu­re dif­fe­rent the­re?

Ger­ma­ny offers posi­ti­ve expe­ri­en­ces and reco­gni­zed mista­kes in moder­niza­ti­on con­cepts that are ins­truc­ti­ve in deal­ing with the struc­tu­ral heri­ta­ge of lar­ge housing estates.

Pol­and is home to the lar­gest pro­por­ti­on of Euro­pean resi­dents of lar­ge housing estates. After ener­­gy-effi­ci­ent refur­bish­ment, fur­ther steps need to be taken. But which ones? What will deve­lop sus­tain­ab­ly in lar­ge housing estates in 10, 20 or 30 years?

Best stra­te­gies and pro­ce­du­res as well as dif­fe­ren­ces and com­pa­ra­bi­li­ties bet­ween count­ries are of inte­rest. Which deve­lo­p­ments can be imple­men­ted in the Polish mar­ket? What can the West learn from Pol­and?
