At the Institute for Open Space Development and Planning-Related Sociology, development processes, design and planning projects were taught and designed in such a way that the spatial environment offers diverse development opportunities for different user groups. Against this background, the causes of social change, different planning strategies and new approaches to design tasks were examined and discussed. This approach is characterized by large-scale concepts on the one hand and interventionist 1:1 experiments, often designed as temporary changes, on the other.
