Participation week in the Leonhardsvorstadt
The two neighborhoods of Leonhardsviertel and Bohnenviertel will be merged again under the historical name ›Leonhardsvorstadt‹. The area to be freed up after the planned demolition of the Züblin-Parkhaus in 2023 has the potential to connect the two quarters spatially, and to develop a new center by means of a strong program. The city council has recognized this potential and nominated the development proposal as IBA project. In this context a participation week designed by Studio Malta took place from May 30th to June 2nd, with the aim of drawing attention to the importance of a socially sustainable development of the area.
In cooperation with the Institute for Landscape Planning and Ecology, as well as the Institute for International Urban Development of the University of Stuttgart, the association Leonhardsvorstadt e.V. and the artist Weiny Fitui a diverse program about urban development and culture was set up. This allows the early involvement of various city producers in the upcoming transformation process of the quarter, and the discussion on locally relevant topics.
A central goal of the project participants was to activate the multifunctional area behind the parking structure.
The ongoing participation workshops ›Stadtbühne Leonhardsvorstadt‹ and ›My Leonhardsvorstadt is...‹ by Studio Malta, neighborhood discussions, participative formats of the cooperating institutes, music events and activities for children and teenagers, made this happen and turned the area into a lively meeting point and platform for neighborly exchange. Additionally, the old Catholic Church St. Katharina offered an unusual setting for additional cultural events.
