Inhabitants and occupants are a positive part of a city or a town if interactions with urban structures are possible. As a result a city might be active, vital and a positive urban feeling take place. Social and urban structures are developed over the time and adapted to the new and current challenges, like demographic changes, digitalization, global crisis and climate change.

The seminar includes lectures / inputs and a exchange with experts. Furthermore a common guided tour with a self-test. The self-test will take place using components of Inclusive Lab, suggesting mobile and sensory limitation and reduction, with the aim of a change of perspective. Finally a Stegreif / Design Impromptu as a examination. A practical exercise with a focus on the ground of the Darmstädter sports club TSG.
