Life Instead of Vacancies—The Bus Tour
. We can provide you with details about the individual stops after you register.
Berlin is full of untapped potential: While numerous buildings and spaces stand empty or are not being used to their full potential, initiatives, cultural professionals, and engaged neighborhoods are urgently searching for suitable spaces. Rising rents, uncertain lease terms, and complicated leasing procedures make it difficult to establish projects that serve the public good on a long-term basis.
Under the title “Life Instead of Vacancy,” we invite you to join us on a bus tour through Berlin. Together, we’ll visit initiatives, projects, and buildings that exemplify how vacant or underutilized spaces can be transformed into places for culture, community, education, and civic engagement.
The bus tour is back for another round!
Following the 2022“Agile Urban Practice” bustour and the 2023 bus tour as part of PRAXISWOCHE, the bus tour is now entering its next phase, bringing together initiatives, policymakers, government officials, and the urban community. At various stops, we’ll learn about projects and their goals, discuss challenges, and develop concrete approaches for using vacant spaces for the common good.
“Life Instead of Vacancy” means securing, opening up, and collaboratively shaping existing spaces. Hop on and join the discussion!
