Commonly used and designed open spaces are anchor points in the city and a possible response to the consequences of urbanization and climate change, as well as to the presence of social and cultural differences. Urban Open Space + Strategies in between Architecture and Open Space Planning, edited by Dr. Carolin Mees, provides a unique interdisciplinary discourse of scientific texts and opinion papers by international experts depicting the diversity of add-ons from a range of micro- and macro-perspectives, and offering strategies for collaborative, multi-coded urban spaces at the intersection of architecture and open space planning. This book explores the role of add-ons in urban open spaces: specific components for the production of food, water, energy and materials, as well as for economic and social resources. Urban Open Space + Strategies asks how these added elements create more resilient and sustainable urban spaces by responding to the needs and preferences of residents and by forming connections to the surrounding urban environment.

Today, we continue to dedicate ourselves to that mission in a program that offers exceptional services and an innovative curriculum to nearly 1,000 adult students in New York City and online.
