Werkstatt-Stadt informs about projects which are not yet a wide-spread matter of course in urban development practice. In this, we do not see the term “innovation” as absolute novelty but as a synonym for good practice worthy of imitation. The innovative character can refer to the complete project, planning procedure, realisation process and the individual components thereof in each case.
The contributions of the innovation projects to sustainable urban development prove themselves in the following areas:
The quality standard of Werkstatt-Stadt consists of the fact that a project leads to improvements in at least one of the three areas in comparison with the status quo and does not lead to deterioration in any area. The project depiction’s scope and structure are targeted to a large circle of interested parties. A clear introduction to the core of the project offers laypersons and experts a specific access. At the forefront are the factual, spatial and time context, important project elements, aims and measures, and also innovation and the potential for problem solution. Further information is provided with every project for the deepening of individual aspects and the transfer of experience: further material (literature, links), stakeholders and sources.
We make every effort to keep up-to-date, but we cannot guarantee being absolutely up-to-date. The project depictions are mainly based on sources which were elaborated by the relevant parties involved in the project. We can therefore not accept liability for the correctness of contents. We are all the more grateful for [criticism and suggestions] and additional information which allow us to convey a more complete picture of the presented projects.
The updates are fed back to the parties involved in the projects. If no verified update is possible, we allocate the relevant project depiction to the [archive].
