Our architecture and urban development practice connects planning, design and research. We study urban structures, processes of change and spatial potential, from documenting existing conditions to developing strategies for the future.
This Wittenberg study presents selected findings from project work: maps, analyses and proposals that show how research can inform practical decisions about the city and its spaces.
The interactive map locates individual districts and leads to closer readings of their structure, setting, history and spatial potential.

Older district figures come from the city's population register; different sources and area definitions mean they should not be compared directly with the state series.
