Restart City Centre: How we shape the city of Herten with education | Svenja Hövelmann | TEDxMünster


[Music]
That’s the vision of an aspiring one
mining town in the northern ruhr area
a four-lane traffic ring
Swimming pool a straightforward
pedestrian zone live in high modern
It is the same in the 19 th century 1960s
from the village would have in the context of
growing mining a modern one
Emerging downtown has grown
increase in population
jobs social rise the
whole city relies on growth
that’s what happened today it came
not the way you planned it
Life is not always predictable and also
cities are not always plannable
the mining was unimaginable for 1960
all and with it over 6000
jobs
that is every third job in
this city also the people did not come
more because people do not work
rather in the surrounding area are looking elsewhere
jobs there are 11,000 people
less came
thought in 1960 that’s 15 percent
imagine in your city
would be 15 percent less people
the city is going to be empty
in addition, there is internet trade
cheap shops the small trade has none
chance more in such cities right now
in outlying areas outside the
pedestrian beautiful
Gründerzeithäuser actually a great
potential for living decays
even though they have big gardens right in the middle of
The city has in the skyscrapers of
Nobody wants to live like that in their 80s
the challenges were right
are big
Our city center is empty
become
We can still see on the facades
A shop window remains of posters
what was there
We were 40 shops here
it is not live now and it is empty
more so nice to work to work
live and not a business
undo
there is no room for retail here
more
the people who stayed here
are often in the official German as
socially weak educational distance
They are referred to this living space
instructed and they were also part of
very much like that you can also
do not forget
just to make it very clear
do
directly adjacent to our city center
This beautiful castle park directly at the
What was iphone and many of the
People in these high houses
living without gardens do not arrive there
because they are with themselves and their lives like that
are so busy
this is not a big big task
only for social workers or
social scientist but also for
city ​​planner and for a whole city
society as a whole
What do we do with these things?
an old department store a nationals
a shop, and also a park a a
platz what does that have to do with education
we have composed ourselves
considered that could stop
new construction and we said the brace
is education wants is clear we have to
deal with what we have there
have to work together with the people
we have to live with the built space
and we also have to take the people with us
do the protests more and so on
handle and have ten set and have
we saw that on the spot
how can we education in the city
integrate we take this
empty department store in purchase from what
Many consider worthy for on- call
nothing happened anymore
lame is open we have the
We cleaned it
and what do we see the people coming
people are interested in this design are
700 square meters of open space which city
already has 700 square meters of free space
with names instead of here , people meet
art and cultural projects meet
and instead of demolition many people think
about what can you do with education
encounter cultures and do there
we have this empty one
Ladenlokal there we want one
make education point that’s the way it is
similar to tourism information
they all know each other
you go there informed about
tourist highlight so you can
in our education pact soon about
culture about education or sports and
music offers in the city in form
very important for our people
easy to go and see what
can i do there what can i do
and does not have to run from a to b
but I have one directly on the spot
contact person in the neighborhood there next to
we make a project space directly in the
Quarters right on the spot where the people
can sit together at a table
But we also do language courses together
just cook up
we can do energy advice or
just a place of encounter
create a district
what do places have to do with education like
I have already been told our
many poor children are the easiest
do not have the chance in institutions
not to come to this
castle park arrive the living there in
high-density houses and are too
rely on their environment their
living environment this place has arisen
in the context of an emerging
mining town which should be great
be representative with fountain with alm
today people have to live with it but
actually it is not what we are anymore
we need today but we have to
look how we get the place in
education we get this place to
to play for a stay and to play
sometimes people need that too
Children help the city
to experience things with them to the city
shape and not just passive
to participate or on a playground
to play but in public
actively contribute to the space
that’s education get very close to it
we connect with others
maybe big education projects
do not reach us we are there
got there
We felt we were a city
compound not office for office like
it is often known from other administrations
but all together in one
integrated core team there was planning at
economic promotion city reconstruction
free space planning but also social
education sport and have one together
developed integrated action concept
but together with the people before
place
we are through with the people
gone quarters
because who can tell us something better
in the neighborhood is going on as the team owner
who lives there for many many years
he gets everything with him every day
broker has gone with it like that
landowner or even the
welfare association that means we are in
the quarters have gone with the
People have spoken with the local people
People worked in a so-called
buy from the ideas around there on the spot
really very active to say what is
your vision what do you want from yours
city ​​how do you want to live when
Retailers have no chance anymore
What else can we do?
there have made a big posters there
Exhibition with many posters
made and in parallel also children and
Ask teenagers what do you want in
your city you are the future of yours
city as this is a classic
forms of participation he rarely comes
we went to school there
gone where are children and adolescents
on the schoolyards in the
Youth institutions have there survey
made alone 840 cards are there
come together
the whole we have summarized and
a so-called integrated
So action concept in principle a
Guidelines for the development of
next ten years
there are 23 projects in it with us
want to rebuild our city these are
economic projects social projects
urban development projects its whole
Brand width always with the bracket
education because all participations have
At the beginning we said if
We involve so many people that fit
therefore no longer on top of each other but all
Participation have a red thread
the people want a safe
city ​​a clean city but also
education encounter culture and have that
We look at your processed there we look
again in the southern ewaldstraße
I ‘ve just left empty houses
See what social islam spoken
We now in our store of ideas
We already have theater projects instead of us
have not done anything except the
slices cleaned but it develops
there is a project there are quite a lot
different people old and young all
many refugees
get involved with we have from
some of a shop, a
get hairband key
They provide us with their shopkeepers
disposal and was the whole city or
across the street a big one
Exhibition on the topic of good
shops what comes after the
Retail we bring good ideas
in the shop to show what can
you will happen in the future if it is not
The retail is and what city
already has a whole street as atelier
we have to use what we have
open spaces that have many growing
Cities do not we have cheap
Living room
we have a lot of space and we are allowed to
Do not complain and say what are we doing here
but we have to say that very actively
is our chance we can do something here
is unusual and try that
we also see and that is special to us
important you see her people whom it
does not matter how it is in front of her front door
does not accept that the
fence stands and that’s easy
negative living environment is but the
have teamed up for
have got also sponsored
of the property owner
these plan
bought together with artists
and children of the quarter and also
refugees are living there
a very broad group of these planes
designed and thus are in the conversation
come and have already asked
we can not do anything
organize that together
Celebrate and these are the things
if I can pay with a lot of money
but these are the things that really are in
neighborhood happen right on the spot
Therefore my conclusion is networked because
the exciting projects are in the
interfaces thats not always that
simple project but if we all
Come together to watch a project
we on ideas we alone maybe
The good idea would not have been
not always the most expensive but must
look what the local people need
and how can we even people with
integrate this idea with you
the third thing is bring up education
The street education may not only be in
Institutions take place where some
children and adolescents no access to
but it has to be a complementary one
network give off institutional education
but also education in the quartier the
Together with them, children also work
disadvantaged from home are one
have a chance to education and also in
splitter to come to the labor market
