“How and where we (want to) live in Germany” was the topic presented by Prof. Dr. Hannes Taubenböck on the 8th of December 2022 at the Geodätisches Kolloquium at the University of Bonn. He discussed the works of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the University of Würzburg on the types of buildings, the locations of the settlements, and what it means how and where we live in times of housing shortage or the climate crisis.
