The project “Atlas of large housing estates” was presented today in an online workshop with representatives from housing associations. The project aims to provide, among other things, a comprehensive overview of the typologies of large housing estates in Germany. It builds on a previous joint project titled “Großwohnsiedlungen der Zukunft [engl. Large housing estates of the future]” – please see here: Großwohnsiedlungen der Zukunft. https://cloud.rha-planer.eu/s/gT63xgZazZwbiB9/download/547_230224_Abschlussbericht_digital.pdf
Dr. Michael Wurm from DLR-DFD – our lecturer in our EAGLE course – presented our remote sensing analyses in a lecture entitled “The large housing estates of Germany “. Dr. Vanessa Ziegler from Reicher Haase Assozierte gave an in-depth view on large housing estates and their transformation. The meeting was moderated by Prof. Reicher and Prof. Hannes Taubenböck.
The project is a collaboration of the RWTH Aachen, Reicher Haase Assozierte, and the German Remote Sensing Data Center (DFD) of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). It builds on previous joint projects and publications – see here for some examples:
