Jury verdict: What contribution does landscape architecture make to the phenomenon of urban spaces that have become obsolete?

With their work "Landschaftszug Dessau" (Landscape Train Dessau), Station C23 formulate fundamental landscape architectural impulses for this problem that can have an effect on urban space. The creation of new pathways, the elaboration of traces and the cultivation of expanse are keywords that accompany the process of urban redevelopment in Dessau.

With the involvement of various actors such as sponsors, city maintenance companies and farmers, the concept is to become reality. An important approach that does not approach the topic of urban redevelopment from a top-down viewpoint of higher-level planning, but sees landscape architecture as an agent for bottom-up processes.
