Change of the economic structure

- until 1989 “City of heavy mechanical engineering”with approx. 45,000 employees in this branche

- only 3,000 employees remaining in 1995- today in addition to the traditional economic secto rs:

- services (trade, banks, public administration)- scientific institutions

- Unemployment rate January 2013: 11,4%

PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION


• No general identity – only patchwork of

isolated identities

• Lack of connections (physical, visual,

social, economic)

• Lack of critical mass

• Lack of communication, marketing and

branding (internal and external)

• Lack of strategic co-operation

REDIS – Implementation Lab Magdeburg 2009

Results:Observations Suggestions



What can a city do with such results?

How can the city use the critical observations

and the innovative suggestions

to improve the situation?

The solution of URBACT-Program :

• involve all the stakeholders • build up a URBACT Local Support Group • discuss all the observations und suggestions • create new solutions • fix these solutions in a Local Action Plan



Stakeholders and their different interests

City of Magdeburg (owner of the ground)Property administration - high selling valueEconomic department - high number of new jobsPlanning department - high urban quality

Regional Government (Saxony-Anhalt)low amount of fundingmarketing for the region

Otto-von-Guericke-Universitycheap ground for expansion of the university

Scientific institutions in the areaqualified cooperation partners in the neighbourhood improvement of the infrastructure

Companies in the areabetter public transportqualified young employees from the university

It was the most important task for the ULSG:

Focusing the different interests at the overall goal 'Development of a Science area


Foundation of the ULSG in Magdeburg - June 2009




Qualification the structure of the ULSG – 2010


Objective:geographical links between the University campus, the research institutes and the science port

Every town participating in REDIS, will be given an opportunity to nominate a qualified planning team for participation in the competition. The nominated planning teams will be invited to take part by the city of Magdeburg
