Landscape Democracy Rationale

With the aim of successfully improving a district, we are confronting keywords. Those are innovation, sustainability and inclusion.

• Innovation means renewal: What are the offers? What is old and needs to be restored? What is missing? What does the district need?
• Sustainability means consideration for our natural resources: What ecosystems are in the described landscape? What does traffic mean for the district?
• Inclusion means that everyone belongs to the community: Which people live in the neighborhood? Who uses the district as a commuter, buyer or tourist? What are the social offers?

The task is to evaluate which of these keywords already exist in an existing district, wether they need to be improved or how you can reintegrate them into the district. A quarter improvement should be done with the residents, but it is important to listen not only to the stronger voices, but to all. In order to create a new sense of community from the very beginning, which continues until the renovations have been completed and every following generation.

Phase A: Mapping your Community

Welcome to your community and its landscape

Kein-Tischardt is located directly below the historic centre of Nürtingen, between the rivers Neckar and Steinach and the Stuttgart - Tübingen railway line. There is affordable housing, various retailers and restaurants. The lack of public spaces and interaction problems between the residents are the shortcomings.

• 

  Klein Tischardt, a district of Nürtingen is located in the south of germany, below Stuttgart.

• 

  The local stakeholders like retailers and restaurants are roughly distributed throughout Klein-Tischardt.

Groups of actors and stakeholders in your community

There are a variation of actors, including the city of Nürtingen with different institutions. In addition, restaurants, clubs and retailers are distributed throughout the district. All these stakeholders lack a meeting and communication area, which makes a clear infrastructure unreadable.

• 

  Stakeholder chart of Klein-Tischardt.

• 

  Needs and aspirations of the actors and their current visibilty in the community of Klein-Tischardt.

Relationships between your actors and groups

The groups are represented to be evenly important for the growth of the district. But the main players for in the district are the city of Nürtingen and the residents of Klein-Tischardt itself. Above all, there is the administration of the district, which is under the control of the city. As a result, all proposals are handled through the city counsil. The city tries to take into account all actors and sub-communities, but their wishes are only at one of the latter. What is important to all involved in Klein-Tischardt is the upgrading of the infrastructure and free space design.

• 

  The chart to show the power between the groups shows that every main group should have an even say in everything. But as of now that is not the case.

• 

  The chart for current interest and future goal in the districts problem management.

Summary of your learnings from the transnational discussion panel on April 22

On April 22 you will present the PPT version of this first assignment to other seminar groups working in other geographical community contexts. Please give here a short summary of your learnings during this presentation, for example:

• That i should read myself on various alaytical processes in order to achieve a broad result. With different media and specific questions (Who might we?).
• I should better tune my content and presentation for better clarity. It is known to me that i know my district the best, but i have to be able to transmit my knowledge to others too.
• Other value schemes: any surprises?
• Constructive comments we received on our presentation

Theory reflection

The three sessions about 'Democratic Landscape Transformation' were very informativ, in the beginning to learn that there is no definitive formulation to landscape democracy or that there can be more than one possible solution can be quite helpful in finding motives to transform a landscape in a democratic principle. Also to understand the backstories of landscape and communities, with the understanding of the word democracy on its own has given me a new perspective in uncovering informations.

• Reflect on at least three readings from the first section 'Democratic Landscape Transformation
• From the LED2LEAP Session 1: wicked landscape democracy (Rittel, H.W.,& Webber, M. M. (1973). Dilemmas in a general theory of planning. Policy science) The posibility to evaluation different problems with these 7 descriptions, like with the corona pandemic.

Phase B: Democratic Landscape Analysis and Assessment

The Scene in your Story of Analysis

• The district of Klein-Tischardt is mainly a housing area with 2.500 inhabitants. The open spaces are occupied by cars with traffic and parking.
• The cooperation between the city of Nürtingen lack in the abbility to communicate with its inhabitants. There are several services for the residents, that they can turn to. These services are very sparce and do not contribute to improving the local problems.

The Actors in your Story of Analysis

The main character is thomas müller, he is an it specialist. He recently moved back to nürtingen with his family, wife Birte and daughter Tina. Together with Thomas' parents, the city council and a few students from the university, his wife and daughter are among the minor characters.

The Story of Analysis

• Plot

Through the isolation of the corona pandemic, the Müller family becomes aware of how unattractive the public open spaces are and how much the community isolates itself from each other. Everyone thinks negatively, thinks only of themselves and neglects their surroundings. The Müllers want to do something about this process. With various posters and projections of old pictures on panells, throughout Klein-Tischardt, they want to make their community aware of what was once beautiful in their neighborhood. They call on their friends and the city to contribute their own and other current images to show the isolated inhabitants of Klein-Tischardt on the walls of their houses, to show that they are still there. Through organisational support of the students, the offer the students a projection screen of their own local projects to provide transparent planning for the residents. After a large participation, they decide to create different information centres for the neighbourhoods to offer the community a centre for self-determination and further development. In addition, film events of private recordings in the future, as well as other integrating and community events.

• 

  the problems are shown

• 

  first ideas are put forward

• 

  start of the first intervention

• 

  new established projects

• 

  individual projects are in progress

• 

  a look to the future

Reflect on your Story of Analysis

• Our tools should give the community a voluntary and independent basis for understanding and further development of the intervention. Everybody can contribute something different, it is a changeable way to share ideas with others by working with emotions and creativity and getting them reflected back.
• But we are not looking for a perfect story, a successful story also consists of defeats and setbacks from which one can learn. There is no To Doo list of things you need to succeed. This also makes the result more understandable and human.
• In the end a growing community structure should be created which is able to transport itself to the outside world to strengthen the interest in Klein-Tischardt and its inhabitants.
