How can city planners of the green building transition rethink and reuse what already exists, rather than perpetually looking for something new? What planning cultures does an open society need? What points of collaboration are missing between city officials and local stakeholders? This book highlights Mannheim-Käfertal as a compelling case study to explore these questions, given its exceptional transformation driven by the conversion of former military sites in the neighborhood. Through an experimental process, diverse stakeholders are working to establish a social and green center that combines old and new. Cross-agency partnerships, urban development, the creation of public spaces, and interventions at a 1:1 scale are being employed as part of a cooperative strategy for revitalizing existing urban spaces. Piazza Spinelli demonstrates how complex urban environments can be reimagined, developed, and anchored in the local community.
