The Deutsches Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt has launched an exhibition exploring the complexities of urban neighborhood development in Germany. Running from June 28 to November 2, 2025, the exhibition highlights nine projects that embody sustainable and socially integrated urban planning. It references early experiments like the Römersadt estate and features more contemporary developments throughout Germany. These projects address planning processes and ecological strategies while illustrating the challenges faced in urban development. The exhibition promotes adaptive neighborhoods that prioritize mixed-use designs and participatory planning, steering away from traditional mono-functional zoning.
The exhibition brings together nine projects that reflect diverse approaches to new urban planning, with a focus on sustainability, social integration, and long-term adaptability.
Each project offers insight into the planning processes, ecological strategies, and governance models shaping today's neighborhoods.
Rather than presenting fully resolved solutions, Building Cities Today? emphasizes the ongoing and negotiated nature of urban development.
The projects highlight a shift toward mixed-use, socially diverse, and ecologically responsive models, challenging the legacy of mono-functional zoning.
