In this lecture series the chairs of Urban Design and Urban Development (Prof. Million) and Landscape Architecture and Open Space Planning (Prof. Giseke) introduce and juxtapose different theoretical urban and landscape planning approaches and the resulting practice. By reviewing planning processes and projects of the past and today new insights will be gained and discussed on certain planning methods and practices. This debate mainly presented from international practitioners and researchers of urban and regional planning as well as landscape planning and design will enrich today’s concepts for urban design and urban developments.
