Future City Living Schaffhausen – Consensus Revitalisation

LEP WEB Prj Schaffhausen

Description:

The development of Schaffaussen city in northern Switzerland has displayed a structural weakness in socio-demographic and living space development since many years. In particular there is a big deficit of rental apartments for young middle-class generation, which has caused a constant emigration of these people to other cities and consequently the city govt. has considerably lost the valuable tax income.

The Project “Future City Living Schaffhausen” has been conceived under the motive of revitalising the consensus on residential development for densified or improved living in Schaffhausen. It includes focus on certain pre-defined areas, selective handling of conflict areas that includes understanding and redirecting the opposition against rezoning or bringing such areas under development, evolving future vision of these areas from ideological and preconceived perspectives, creating well thought play and living areas under new thinking patterns and discovering creative solutions under participative approach and finally establish a consensus which can even have different opinions with different content. The reframed consensus will establish a new foundation for the continuation of goal oriented planning process in the area of future city living.

The project will be importantly incorporate strong participative approach and include internal workshops with city administration and special task groups for specific tasks at different stages.

LEP Consultants AG is conducting the project together with Vector Communications AG and hinnen.hinnen GmbH under direct mandate from the city government of Schaffhausen.
