Garten + Landschaft, Living in the City
April 2023 issue, Verlag Georg D.W. Callwey GmbH&Co.KG, pp. 48-51.
Let landscape architecture become the 'master planning' of the future, making a decisive contribution to enabling good, healthy, climate-friendly, but also affordable 'living in the city'!
Climate, sustainability, security, energy - we live in a time of multiple crises. And in addition, there is a crisis of housing.
