On three themed evenings, the series of events at WEST, Alte WU, will be dedicated to vacancies in residential buildings, ground floor zones and commercial premises. The aim of the cross-institutional co-operation is to initiate a broad political debate. The reactivation of vacant buildings makes an important contribution to climate protection as well as social and ecological sustainability. Activating vacant buildings is a lever for affordable housing, for making public spaces more attractive and creates space for (socio-)cultural or small commercial uses. In addition to panel discussions with experts from politics, administration and planning, international case studies will highlight the potential of utilizing vacant properties.

Wed 23.10., 18:00 Panel 1: Vacancies in residential buildings
