Rationale: Why is this case interesting?
The foundation ‘Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau’ and the city council of Dessau – Roßlau created a new procedure ‘Planning in dialogues’ for this project. Therefore they invited 3 planning – teams. There was a direct confrontation with the ideas and wishes of the stakeholders. The results of the group meetings directly affected the first sketches of the planning – teams in the first public workshops. The participants themselves could also see, how the planners are working and could comment on the first sketches.
