At the beginning of th e 1980s Freiburg began

to explore new ways of develop ing inner areas

of th e city . Tram lines were extended and the

quality of resid ential areas improved through

the archit ectural re-design of str eets and

sq uares. Follow in g t he C hern ob yl catastrophe

in 1986, Freiburg made the sav ing o f natural

reso urc es the m ost Im portant elem ent of all

future p la nn in g. G r eenfie ld d ev elopments were

hmited to an a bso lu te m in im um a nd there w as

dea r p rio ritisatio n o f p ub lic tra nsp ort o ve r

in ivr u l

traffic.

In the 1960s, a crucial decision was made to

reta in and expand the tr am network, m aking

th is the backbone for new urb an developm ent

in Freiburg. In addit ion , the concep t of five

fi ngers w a s c re ated in order to clearly separa te

green open spaces fro m b uilding zones.

Freiburg expanded during the 1970s w ith new

sett lem ents being built to accomm odate th e

g row ing popu lation. T he oil crash of 1973

bro ught w ith it the realisation that urban

p lan nin g n eed ed to b e m ore e nv iro nm en ta lly

fr iendly. In addition , the G reen m ovem ent in

th e Fre ib urg re gio n g ain ed imp etus after plans

to build a nuclear pow er p lant close to the city

w ere defeated by peaceful pro tests from the

local re sidents.

A s over 80 of the histo ric city centr e was

destroyed dunng W orld W ar II,the fou ndatio n

f or F re ib erg s dev elo pment was e st ab li shed

d uring the p ost-w ar y ears. In contrast to

m any other G erm an cities, the m ajority of

the elem ents that m ade up the historic city

c en tre w ere re co nstru cte d In F reib urg . T his

a dh ere nc e to a p re vio usly e stab lished urban

layout pro vid ed a framewo rk for diff ere nt

archite ctu ra l s ty les and a variety of uses. By

support in g the centuries-old European build ing

tradit ion, Freiburg has grown to be a colo urful,

v ib ra nt city full of architectura l diversity .

These elem ents - the tram and the d ivisi on

of land into green areas and buildin g areas -

st ill guide the city s development today and

contr ibute to the hig h quality of Freiburg s

urban fabric . The decision to develop the city

along th e axis of th e publi c t ransport network

also date s back to the 1960s.

U rb an design and planning has always been

of special importance to Freiburg . Industry

never played a very significant part in the city s

grow th , due to its geog raphical location in th e

so uth w est of G erm any. A s a resu lt, it w as

arc hitecture that became a valuable econom ic

driver during the 20th c en tu ry .

In 19th centu ry Europe it w as the Indust ria l

Revolution that made the greatest ch ange to

the typical city structure. The move from a

mostly agrarian society to an indust rial one

had a dram atic impact on the pattern of

governance, as w ell as on the way people lived

and worked. In the 20th century the shape

of the city w as further transformed by th e

inventio n - and late r the invasion - of the motor

car. Some argue that the dig ital revolutio n

is bringing about a third wave of change,

albeit one that m ay in fact aid the recovery of

traditional values and functio ns in the city .

To date, cities have grown organically as the

physical m anifestation of a multi-structured

so ciety. In the future , they may need some

kind o f archite ctu ral guiding principle to

help those in charge deal respons ib ly w ith

lim ited reso urces and an enviro nm en t th at is

univ ersa lly under press ure.

L im it s to G rowth, the 1972 report prepare d by

the C lub of Rome, is a com pellin g account of

the finite nature of the world s natu ral reserves .

The report called for the careful management

of su ch resources. Ever since the oil crash of

1973 and the explosion of th e nuclear power

plant at Chernobyl in 1986, it has b ec ome

apparent to most people that w e can no t

continue as usual . Countries, regions, cities and

communities have to face this re al it y and work

towards finding a solution.

THE M GIC TRI NGLE

OF U RB AN DEVE LOPMENT

Cities tend to resist easy defi nit io n. Some

fo llow a clear development patte rn, others

grow through se em ingly random events. They

are the product of a com binatio n of culture,

politics, business e xp ertis e, financial investment

and cit izen action. As populations increase,

cit ie s c ontinue to be created.

In the past. citie s w ere plac es that provided

protectio n, encouraged trade, created

employment a nd fo stered cultu re. The

exch ange of goods went hand-in-hand w ith

interpersonal exchange: c it ie s were a p lace

fo r meeting other people - fo r business or

fo r pleasure. Todays cities al-e composed

of complex system s w ith inte rconnected

netw orks and a breathtak ing diversi ty of

spaces and places. C it ies are never static. T hey

are constantly changing, sometim es slow ly,

sometim es fas t, depending on social press ures

and innovations in technology.
