large-scale projects today—a paradigmatic change in
urban development? When large-scale housing es-
tates gained a bad reputation, small-scale projects ad-
vanced into the leading concept of redevelopment in
our cities. today, the wide-ranging new generation of large-scale projects reflects a renaissance
of the city.

in germany, reunification and globalisation have begun to generate new large-scale projects.
our cities are making use of the opportunities presented by structural change, and many ar-
eas of conversion are being redeveloped. but this is a matter of urban structures rather than
of suburbs. Handling urban diversity and social heterogeneity, creating integration and cohesion,
paying attention to history and good design; these are permanent tasks of urban development—as
shown by the projects presented in this publication.
large-scale projects are models for future living conditions. their qualities can set standards
and any defects may trigger necessary learning processes. their relevance is universal.
