The cultural diversity of society is reflected in urban open spaces. People of different origins meet each other. They use the open spaces together, but not always in the same way. This is because they sometimes have different needs, traditions, ideas of norms and aesthetic preferences.

The experience of difference has always been a core element of public spaces, and the migration movements of the past decades have also produced a new cultural diversity in this country and especially in metropolitan regions such as Frankfurt Rhine-Main, up to and including so-called superdiversity.

The conference approaches various facets of cultural diversity in relation to the processes of creation as well as the perception, use and appropriation of urban open spaces and cultural landscapes.

  • How can landscape architects address cultural diversity within the user community in order to create spaces for all?

  • What opportunities, challenges and conflicts arise from diversity?

At the interface between theory and practice, we illuminate dimensions of cultural diversity in the context of open space planning. In addition to the needs of people from different cultural backgrounds, the focus will be on the attribution of meaning to landscapes and landscape elements, on the legibility and (general) validity of cultural symbols and archetypes in open space design, and on cultural representations that are specifically integrated by planners into outdoor spaces in order to "create identity". With success? And what is the relationship between symbolism and suitability for everyday use?

Cultural diversity has several other venues: it is a component of the current change in cemetery culture. It shows itself in intercultural gardens. And it places new demands on participatory processes. Underlying all these topics and questions is the concern to design open spaces of great integrative power and resonance for a society that is becoming ever more culturally differentiated.
