Landscape Democracy Rationale

  • Everything with a decent age needs a renewal from time to time. But to fulfill this development correclty, we need everybody to pull on the string of everybodys needs in public spaces. So in the beginning it's very important to understand the surroundings. How is the age of the population? How many locals and foreigners are living there? Which oppurtunities for interaction are given? In which way dooes the population sees their landscape? The challenge will be to try to involve every citizen and their oppinion. Obviously not everyone will get pleased with the result, but at the end the goal should be to reflect what the general mood and ideas the inhabitants have and how they could be realized.


Location and scope

  • Location : Germany, Nürtingen 72622, Klein Tischardt

Phase A: Mapping your Community

Welcome to your community and its landscape

  • The Klein Tischardt district is located in Nürtingen, a small town in southern Germany. It borders on the old town and has a village character. The many small shops, which often only consist of garages, are striking. On the edge there is a commercial area with a shopping center. In the center there is an old people's home with assisted living.


Groups of actors and stakeholders in your community

  • There are two large groups that are located in the district. The first are small businesses that are spread throughout the district and the second are senior citizens who live in and around the nursing home. The first group has a service relationship with all residents and is accordingly also clearly visible. The second group, however, is more in one place and rarely leaves it. Another group are the young people, who are also rarely seen, because the neighborhood has few cool meeting places. So far we can only guess how everyday life in the neighborhood really works and which groups interact with each other.


Relationships between your actors and groups

  • The group of small businesses has the most influence because they own land and are visible. In addition, the residents are dependent on the services of these e.g. Shopping center. We think that all groups have the following interests in common: a good infrastructure, public lounges in nature and shopping.


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

  • We learned the definition of a wicked problem and how to indicate it. Furthermore how to handle it e.g. figuring out solutions and working on them.
  • One of the highest benefits we took from the first presentation were to see other visualisation types/styles. Because of them we leaned how to present our results in a more sketchy and abstract way.
  • The presentation was pretty minimalistic without much design and more informative graphs compared to other presentation. And even then the feedback was that it was quite easy to follow and to understand.

Theory reflection

  • We like the idea of interacting and analyzing the social components of the community, rather than just looking at their enviroment. We were intrigned by the "people entred landscape concept" and that the landscape is rather constructed in the mind of the people, than it is esthetic assembled place of physical objects. On the other hand we thought, that all the theories about the communities and the landscape democracy are a bit too far away from the actual planning and are sometimes not even controllable.

Phase B: Democratic Landscape Analysis and Assessment

The Scene in your Story of Analysis

  • The challenge of the project is to involve every commmunity with their needs and desires. The landscape has a rural and the atmosphere of the distict has an oldschool touch. The most noticeble things missing are recreation spaces. There are many stackeholders in the disctrict with the same political power/influence. Only the local shops have a little bit more power because of the dependence of supplys.


The Actors in your Story of Analysis

  • Our analysis is based on a roleplay exercise. For this experiment everyone in our group put himself in a certain character which is represented in the district.
  • 1. Slava (19) the typical car advocate -> has the need of more parking lots
  • 2. Angelika (52) mother of 2 children -> is worried that her children havent a safe space to play in the disctrict
  • 3. Melissa (14) typical teeny girl -> is missing some cool places to hang out with her friends
  • 4. Soren (32) the young investor -> wants to invest in the development of the district
  • 5. Victor (72) grumpy pensioneer -> lived his whole life in KT and is still missing action
  • Everyone besides Soren is a minor Character, because only he has the capital and the political power to change something directly.


The Story of Analysis

  • In the following images you can see our story and how the different characters react to the actual situation and to our ideas to develope the disctrict

Reflect on your Story of Analysis

  • What did you carry?:
  • First of all we analyzed the community about its major social groups. Then each member of our team slipped into two or three roleplay characters of the largest community groups. Then we combined our results of the needs, wishes and problems of each of our characters.
  • Why did you carry?:
  • Due to the Covid-19 crisis we weren't able to ask the citizens personally, but we also wanted to get an insight view of the disctrict from their perspective. That's why we invented representive characters and walked through the quarter from their point of view.
  • How did you carry?:
  • By introducing around 12 characters we intended a huge variety of results and afterwards combined certain aspects in five key charts.
  • What remains after you left?:
  • We figured out how to approach tis method of analysis and were positivly surprised by the effect of this analysis method on our creative planning process

Phase C: Collaborative Visioning and Goal Setting

The Scene in your Story of Visioning

  • As we dug further into our analysis we discovered that neither of our characters is well served with the current situation of KT. We had to improve the situation for all of the local stakeholders, not just a particular group and we discovered a lot of wasted potential in the district

The Actors in your Story of Visioning

  • We chose the six most representive characters of our story of analysis as the actors in our story of visioning

The Story of Visioning

  • We see the whole story as an interaction between ourselfes and Klein Tischardt.
  • It's fascinating what kind of discussions we hold, while having several different perspectives from the characters we've played.
  • And through that we formed our vision and strategy for the district.
