In its title urbainable – stadthaltig, the exhibition follows the hypothesis that sustainability and the city cannot be seen in isolation from one other. It addresses the role of the European city in the age of global warming, digitalisation, demographic change and the breakdown of traditional social networks, and seeks answers as to whether the success model of the “European city” has been exhausted or can once again prove its adaptability and innovative strength. An installation of photographs by Erik-Jan Ouwerkerk and research results by the Institute for Urban Design and Planning at Leibniz University Hanover provide the thematic introduction. Thirty-three projects from the fields of architecture, engineering, landscape architecture and urban planning by members of the Architecture Section and their guests can be seen in the main section. All projects share the continuity of change and a commitment to the common good.
