How Must Metabolism and Inclusivity Be Developped and Connected?
The town of Schwäbisch Gmünd […] is ambitiously addressing the future of building, living, and working. […] New ideas and approaches are being sought for the area on the Stuttgart-facing side of the town, which has undergone significant changes with the relocation of the B29 federal road into a tunnel and the expansion of the Stadtgarten. […] The area needs a long-term urban development process that can be implemented step by step. Its aim should be to develop a mixed district where building groups, housing cooperatives, service providers, and new production facilities all find a place.
