Learn about urban development and design from our German sister city, Tübingen, Germany.

During the last fifteen years, Tübingen has converted many former industrial or military areas into lively and attractive neighborhoods. The French Quarter, the Loretto and the Mühlenviertel are now characterized by a mixed use, a colorful architecture and a high impact of private building groups.

Tübingen's Mayor for Building and Development, Cord Soehlke, will bring some of Tübingen's planning and building success experiences to Ann Arbor! Cord Soehlke has been part of Tübingen's development projects during the last 14 years and will discuss the city's goals, ideas and experiences.
