Glossary of urban development for the common good

Title teaser
Glossary of urban development for the common good
What is the “common good”? The welfare of all? This glossary is conceived as a guideline for urban development for the common good. It concretizes the plea of the New Leipzig Charter adopted during the German EU Council Presidency in 2020, which is also dedicated to the transformative power of cities for the common good. Without claiming to be exhaustive, the book acts as a snapshot, presenting some of the components that, from the point of view of the players involved, are of central significance for the design of an urban neighbourhood for all.  It aims to contribute to a common understanding of terms and thus to a factual understanding between new and old urban development practitioners, between experts and laypeople, as well as between theory and practice. It is intended to intensify the exchange of urban development policy practitioners at all levels and to strengthen common goals as well as specific implementation ideas of urban development for the common good. The glossary includes not only the basic definition of terminology but also methodology, instruments and tools. In order to provide ideas for imitation in own on-site projects, inspiring reference projects are presented in addition to the definitions of terms. Four in-depth essays on the topics of justice, narratives, processes and transformation offer supplementary content.
