Dialog Architektur: Demokratie und Stadt

Climatewalks

As part of the “Dialog Architektur” series, Prof. Dr. Ing. Daniele Santucci from RWTH Aachen University will speak at this event.

During the summer semester, the “Dialog Architektur” series will take place in cooperation with the Friends of the German Architecture Museum. Together, the interrelated themes of democracy and the city will be explored. The series is part of World Design Capital Frankfurt RheinMain 2026 and fosters dialogue on the relationship between democracy and the city. This is linked to the question: How do we want to live together in the city of tomorrow? What approaches are needed, who should be involved, and what qualities define the city of tomorrow? The series also explores what conditions must be in place to transform a city like Frankfurt into a “city for all”? How is this possible under the conditions of a major city located in one of Europe’s most densely populated metropolitan areas?

The series aims to identify pathways toward a city that is designed more for people and less for economic and growth-oriented goals or transportation objectives. How can social demands, land policy, requirements for public space, the mobility transition, and demands for urban biodiversity be reconciled with the contradictions of the planning industry? How can all of this be linked to the overarching theme of building culture? It’s about the future of the city: in Europe, in the Rhine-Main region, in Frankfurt.

The seminar series is a continuing education event recognized by the AKH. Each seminar is worth 2 continuing education credits. You will receive a certificate of participation after the event concludes.
