How can the site contribute to the adaptable city? 

Innovative ideas and radical concepts for the revitalization of the project area in the city centre and for the development of a mixed-use core area are called for. Various ideas for the use and design of the vacant site on Breitscheidstrasse and the culture and congress centre are to be experimentally formulated within the framework of Europan13, to demonstrate the need for changes in the city’s self-image. The quality of the future public open spaces is of special significance. For the purposes of an interactive urban development process, the competition entrants are invited to participate in a discussion with local protagonists with the aim of drafting a joint development framework for a strong centre for Gera.
