Abstract
The planning laboratory “Raumbilder Lausitz 2050 – Designing Sustainable Transformation” was a research-based cooperative process to produce long-term territorial visions for Lusatia in the context of the post-coal transition. It was led by the Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development (IÖR) through its Interdisciplinary Centre for Transformative Urban Renewal (IZS) in Görlitz, explicitly combining spatial research with strategic design. IZS is a joint research platform of IÖR and TU Dresden’s International University Institute (IHI) Zittau, reinforcing the lab’s academic and transdisciplinary setup. The Lab was embedded in the federally funded research programme “Scientific support for the transformation in Lusatia”, financed by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). Its method treated visioning as a knowledge production tool: critical review of existing strategies, identification of blind spots in the Strukturwandel debate, and testing of alternative sustainable spatial pathways to 2050. Field trips, research consultancy, workshops and two international colloquiums paired the commissioned teams with regional planners, scientists, and practitioners for iterative critique and refinement. Politically, the process interfaced with the coal-phase-out Strukturwandel agenda and cross-state coordination between the Land of Brandenburg and the Land of Saxony, involved in the public events of the Lab. https://transformation-lausitz.ioer.eu/planungslabor/raumbilder-lausitz-2050/I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
