Urban development is the overall spatial, historical and structural development of a city. On the one hand, it refers to the sum total of urban development and land use measures, but on the other hand, integrated urban development is much more than just changing land use.
All change processes have noticeable effects for the people living there.
The community self-governance guarantee was not elevated to constitutional status in Germany without reason.
In 2007, the LEIPZIG CHARTER defined for the first time the European city in terms of culture, economy and ecology, responsibility, participation and public welfare.
The rapid change currently underway in urban and rural environments is complex, takes a lot of time and energy and is a source of fear for many. Such processes do not happen by themselves, so the ability of cities to adapt to the changing environment must be reinforced.
With our management methodology, we organise, structure and implement processes together with the people.
Established structures are those which anchor the way we live and work. They are good and reliable. Such structures can prove explosive if they fall apart or stop working. This is clearly the case with the housing situation, in inner-city retail, cultural life and the consequences of lacking digital infrastructure, to name but a few examples.
The change processes we are faced with, including as a result of the exceptional challenges of the times, must in part be completely rethought and reshaped and adapted and initiated with the respective skills of our urban and rural societies. We structure ideas, organise disputes and manage their implementation.
Why change and not transformation?
The economic term “transformation” means “process of change.” However, a business change also means disruption and dealing with the disturbances and inconveniences that it brings. From our perspective, the term “transformation process” for societal change is misused, because, politically speaking, a transformation would be a change of the fundamental political order.
We believe that we have to relearn the art of dispute, and not just abstractly. A dispute is not a battle or a fight, nor is it about defending and hostility, it is a democratic resolution based on rules. Alongside the rules that we have made for ourselves in our liberal constitutional democracy, there are rules of conduct and respect, rules of communication and of the agreements that we make.
We organise the points of issue and complement, regulate and moderate the process.
We are lawyers and businesspeople, politicians and association representatives, making us perfect all-rounders. We founded the Institute for Regional Urban Change Processes to work together to tackle, shape and manage change processes, because urban development is more than just shaping spaces. We want to strengthen society across the board and enrich them throughout Germany and Europe.
We don’t just advise, we change and strengthen implementation management in the public and private sector. . We establish a new kind of dispute culture.. We take it upon ourselves to stimulate, initiate and implement processes – comprehensively, calmly and assuredly. For this, we have digital, hybrid and analogue formats that let us use our skills and have resilient partnerships nationally and regionally levels and keep the promises that we make!
