This session will examine how different scientific disciplines – urban and regional planning, urban design, sociology, geography, interdisciplinary projects – can support, accompany or even initiate the transformation of former industrial and infrastructure areas into sustainable use. Case studies as well as theoretical and methodological studies are needed. The focus of the presentation will be on the question of the interaction between scientific analysis and practical implementation by non-scientific partners. The methodological and theoretical context should also be clearly highlighted in the case studies. The session will not only be interdisciplinary, but will also provide intercultural insights. Therefore, special attention will be paid to the transferability of solutions between different countries or even continents.
