Event: Seminar and Excursion in Winter Semester 2025/26 - Urban Co-Production - The Case of Berlin

The Rathausblock is an urban renewal area in Berlin-Kreuzberg. Emerging from more than a decade of struggle by urban activists, a cooperative model project has developed between the city administration and civil society.

During the excursion, we will explore this case through hands-on exercises and socio-spatial site investigations. As an introduction to the case study, we will also visit other exemplary projects in the Berlin context, projects that in our view exemplify how urban commos can be co-produced, co-mantained and co-inhabited in an inclusive, solidary manner.

This seminar builds on the outcomes of last semester’s excursion. In addition to the on-site excursion in Berlin, a series of online sessions will introduce the main topics, with invited guests offering their perspectives on co-production, temporary interventions in urban space, and the challenges of participatory engagement processes in Germany and in the European context.
