In the Summer 2018, the Urban Colloquium will focus on the European Year of Cultural Heritage, especially on post-war modernism as well as the challenges that arises in connection with the urban context and long-term use with the building structures.

Starting from the Ruhr area, the view is taken towards Europe. Experts will come together and discuss the perspectives of the post-war modernism. The event format of the urban colloquium consists inputs and following discussions. This Year, the program will be completed with film screenings of post-war modernism.

What experiences have municipalities made with strategies and concepts for the sustainable design of post-war architecture? What are the perspectives of dealing with this era? And which target groups and actors need to be involved?
