Knapper Wohnraum. Entwürfe für eine soziale Stadt.

In the organizer's words:

Scarce living space. Designs for a social city
Talk at the Belvedere on the occasion of the Chris Reinecke spot-on exhibition

At a young age, art meant public action for Chris Reinecke (*1936). The artist, who trained and worked in Düsseldorf, founded the self-help organization "Mietersolidarität" in the early 1970s, which campaigned for capped rents in the city area of the state capital, among other things. In the talk, Reinecke's work on this topic will be presented and contrasted with current projects to combat scarce living space in cities. Prof. Dr. Renée Tribble, Professor of Urban Planning at TU Dortmund University and co-founder of GbR Planbude, will explain current concepts that address the ongoing problem and advocate a social city. In Düsseldorf, the "Planwerkstatt" has made a name for itself in recent years for socially responsible building. Leonie Wendel from Planwerkstatt Düsseldorf e.V. will present this initiative. After the three short presentations, there will be an opportunity to discuss the topic of "scarce living space" together.
