Last week members of GIScience Heidelberg from the TP4 of the Project Urban Office at Heidelberg University participated in a transdisciplinary two days workshop at Heidelberg University together with urban planners, urban geographers, architects and researchers from the social sciences as well as practitioners discussing the current state and future steps in the Reallabor Urban Office. The very interactive workshop discussed among others questions regarding sustainable urban planning and the knowledge society in the context of the Internationale Bauaustellung Heidelberg (IBA).
