How can science support the sustainable reuse of conversion areas in metropolises?

Martin Gegner and Jonas Fahlbusch

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.

NOTE OF CONDOLENCE

With deep sorrow, the Brazilian Institute of Architects – São Paulo Department (IABsp) mourns the passing of architect and landscape architect Kongjian Yu, a global leader in ecological urbanism, and the members of his team who accompanied him, tragically killed during the filming of a documentary. The institute is honored to have had him as a participant in the 14th São Paulo International Architecture Biennial, where his transformative vision strengthened the dialogue between global challenges and local realities. IABsp emphasizes that Yu's contribution, which transcends borders, will remain an inspiration for generations and expresses its condolences to China, to the families of all the deceased, to his friends, and to all those impacted by his genius and dedication.
