Ravensburg's Citizens' Forum explores innovative landscape design in Wangen

sustainable urban development through civil engagement

The Citizens' Forum Altstadt Ravensburg e. V. recently visited the State Garden Show in Wangen to find out more about modern city greening and sustainable living concepts.

insight into innovative design concepts

The group of visitors, led by architect Joachim Scheible, was allowed to discover numerous innovative projects on the grounds of the State Garden Show. In a lively exchange, they were able to get important insights into the design from Scheible, who has been working intensively with the renovation of the Erba area in Wangen for many years. His commitment past years is evident in the successful combination of old industrial culture and modern architecture.

environmentally friendly living landscapes create

The implementation of around 400 new apartments, many of them through a building cooperative, illustrates how sustainable living can be realized through citizen participation. The concept has the advantage that the streets remain largely car -free, which in particular benefits cyclists and increases the quality of life in the urban area.

a contribution to natural urban development

Landscape architect Axel Lohrer has set an important accent with his competitive proposal, which focuses on a natural design. Instead of a classic "flower Olympiad", he shows varied possibilities of how green spaces in urban areas can be designed and sustainable.

a model for other cities

The city of Wangen not only increased its attractiveness through the garden show, but also set a sign of the future. The positive public response and the high number of visitors reflect the interest in environmentally conscious and livable city structures. The developments could also serve as a model for other cities to also rely on a more natural and sustainable urban design.

a common commitment to the future

The commitment of the Altstadt Ravensburg e. V. shows how important citizen participation is in planning processes. Through joint discussions, visits and learning from each other, the foundation stone is laid for a sustainable future living environment. Such initiatives are a promising step towards a lively and sustainably designed city.
