The puzzle of open spaces -
Types and systems of open spaces in
cities
With the urbanization of
industrial society, nature has become a
scarce commodity. The preasure on the remaining open spaces in cities
is immense and will increase considerably with growing densification
and necessity of climatic reorientation. Constituent for future open
space planning as service of general interest will therefore not only
be the boundary conditions of limited and burdened nature but also
the
self-determined use of open space, and in particular the preservation
and construction of open space types and open space systems as the
life-promoting places of appropriation for the urban
population.
This audio was created as
teaching material in 2021 at the Institute for Open Space Development
(Prof. Oppermann) at Leibnitz University Hannover, Germany, and is
based on an interview Barb Mehrens conducted with Werner Nohl in
2015.
The basic contents were already developed by Werner Nohl in the 70s
of
the last century and are published in the book: Werner Nohl,
Städtischer Freiraum und Reproduktion der Arbeitskraft, vol. 2 of
the
series "Studien" of the IMU Institute for Media Research and
Urbanistics, Munich 1983.
