Regional Cooperation

With projects, workshops, empirical analyses, excursions and practical semesters, we open our eyes to the changing requirements of social and professional realities.

Our departments, as well as individual players and students, are involved in building and planning processes in the City of Kassel, the region and beyond.

Studying with the City and Region

Study projects as well as student research projects and master's theses often relate to specific events or requests from towns and municipalities in the region. In most cases, the work is carried out in cooperation with local administrations and political bodies. In some cases, for example, citizens' initiatives are the direct project partners.

An extensive collection of student projects is archived in the faculty's documentation center.

Initiatives and Associations

Student project groups, initiatives and associations have developed from real problems in cooperation with the City of Kassel:

Asscociation Urbane Experimente e.V

Faculty Members Active in the City and Region

With their planning offices, teachers, lecturers and researchers of our faculty fulfill building and planning tasks in the city and region. In doing so, they make a significant contribution to the development of a building and planning culture. The picture shows an example: the extension of the central canteen at the University of Kassel.
