Urbane Praxis in the Arch+

Cover der Arch+ Ausgabe über Urbane Praxis press, toolbox

Cities are more than just concrete and glass - they are living spaces that must reflect our social, cultural and ecological needs.

The current Arch+ (No. 258) is about how urban practice understands architecture not only as an art of building, but also as a social responsibility.

Urbane Praxis poses the question: How do we design cities that not only look smart, but also work for everyone? It’s about participation, sustainable development and dialog between architects, residents and investors, as well as a policy that has yet to understand the new players. The challenge is clear: the city must offer more than aesthetic beauty, places of consumption and an investment landscape for the really big players – it must strengthen social cohesion and protect the environment.

This issue of Arch+ sheds light on how community planning and sustainable concepts can make cities more liveable. Sustainability, gentrification and the “right to the city” are central themes here. Architecture is seen here as a tool for social change and ecological progress.

In short: urban practice is more than just design – it is often the art of simply trying to design cities for everyone*.
