Wilde Urbaniten
(2020-04-24)
Die rechtlich-administrative und räumlich-planende Regulation des Vorkommens wildlebender Tiere im urbanen Raum lässt sich drei historisch gewachsenen Regimen zuordnen: Das Regime der Hygiene konstituiert die wilden Tiere der Stadt als Schädlinge, Lästlinge oder Nützlinge, das der Jagd als Nutzwild, Raubwild oder Raubzeug und das des Naturschutzes als Schutzobjekte, als heimisch oder fremd und als Leistungsträger oder Schädlinge. Dieses Regimedenken wandelt sich derzeit in der räumlichen Planungspraxis. Es wird mit ...

Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Algae and Macrophyte Cover in Urban Lakes: A Remote Sensing Analysis of Bellandur and Varthur Wetlands in Bengaluru, India
(2020-11-23)
Rapid urbanization processes and indiscriminate disposal of urban wastewaters are major causes for anthropogenic lake-sediment deposition and eutrophication. However, information about the spatial and temporal variation of macrophyte and phytoplankton distribution as indicators for water contamination is limited. To gain insights into the dynamics, we analyzed lake-cover changes of Bellandur and Varthur Lake in the S-Indian megacity of Bengaluru for the post-rainy seasons of the years 2002–2019. Supervised maximum ...

Basteln, matschen und toben während der Coronakrise
(2021-11-26)
Mit der Sperrung von Spielplätzen und Parkanlagen bei zeitgleicher Schließung aller Einrichtungen der Kinderbetreuung zu Beginn der Coronapandemie wandelten sich Bedeutung und Nutzung des öffentlichen Raums. Maßnahmen und Empfehlungen wie das Abstandhalten, die Schließung von Schulen und Betreuungseinrichtungen und das Arbeiten von zu Hause veränderten den Kinder- und Familienalltag von einem Tag auf den anderen. Viele sonst alltäglich genutzte öffentliche Freiräume standen nicht mehr zur Verfügung; das „Austoben“ ...

Placemaking in Action: Factors That Support or Obstruct the Development of Urban Community Gardens
(2020-01-16)
The paper examines factors that support or obstruct the development of urban community garden projects. It combines a systematic scholarly literature review with empirical research from case studies located in New Zealand and Germany. The findings are discussed against the backdrop of placemaking processes: urban community gardens are valuable platforms to observe space-to-place transformations. Following a social-constructionist approach, literature-informed enablers and barriers for the development of urban community ...

Modelling and Simulation of Building Material Flows: Assessing the Potential for Concrete Recycling in the German Construction Sector
(2022-03-01)
The reuse and recycling of materials can make an important contribution to the conservation of natural resources in the sense of a circular economy. This applies in particular to high quality recycling, supporting the material use of waste and closing product cycles. The construction sector is the most important sector in terms of available volume of materials for recycling. However, the largest share of recycling (RC) materials goes predominantly into road construction and underground engineering. This research ...

Knowledge Practices Within and Beyond Sharing and Commoning Urban Initiatives
(2022-04-18)
In the context of neoliberal cities, with growing levels of housing commodification and space competition, sharing and commoning urban initiatives within the larger framework of urban social movements are shaping tactics of contestation. To what extent they represent sustainable efforts to urban commons governance remains largely unexplored. This article aims therefore to contribute to better understand how practices of solidarity can be maintained beyond their first productive phase and to explore the engagement of ...

Von sub\urban zu Pro:Polis?
(2022-06-22)
Die Jubiläumsausgabe von sub\urban widmet sich unter dem Titel „sub\x“ vor allem aktuellen Positionen des Urbanen. Dieser Beitrag hingegen widmet sich vor allem möglichen Alternativen des sub, das die Perspektive der Redaktion auf das Städtische beschreibt. Aus dem Sub wird ein Trans, ein Re, ein Pro, ein Post und ein Ko. Mit jeder Veränderung der Vorsilbe – und damit des Blickwinkels auf das Urbane – tritt ein anderer Aspekt der Stadt und des Städtischen, der Stadtproduktion und -planung sowie nicht zuletzt der ...

Botanical concrete
(2022-06-30)
La ricerca sul Botanical Concrete indaga con un approccio innovativo, basato sul design thinking, i materiali e la fitotecnologia, nei sistemi di inverdimento per pareti al fine di dare nuove funzioni al calcestruzzo e consentire l’insediamento superficiale permanente contemporaneamente di crittogame e tracheofite, due specie con diverse esigenze di substrato che si traducono in due distinti requisiti del calcestruzzo. Dalla combinazione dei risultati delle sperimentazioni sulle crittogame e sulle tracheofite si ...

Living locked down – An autoethnographic approach to strategies of adaption to confined living in north Hesse, Germany
(2022-09-07)
Based on autoethnographic observations and phenomenological descriptions of everyday life, this article develops a theory about the connection between challenging housing experiences and the lockdown situation during the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany. A special focus is placed on living in community, i.e. living permanently together with other people. The reorganisation of spatial routines and the bundling of these in the flat led to the development of new methods of everyday life in terms of work, leisure and social ...

Housing in Germany and the Rebirth of the High‐Rise in Post‐Modern Urban Design
(2022-11-22)
High-rise buildings were a frequent design element in modernist urban planning and architecture. However, both the criticisms modernism faced and the negative experiences with large housing estates dating from that period led to post-modern designs that built strongly on traditional pre-modernist urban form. Despite the role of high-rise buildings in office areas, many brownfield and greenfield housing developments from the 1980s to the 2000s reflected this trend and abandoned high-rise buildings almost completely ...
