In view of a wide range of urban crises the cooperative development of urban spaces is
increasing in importance. How to succeed in this is shown by Michael Ziehl based on the
example of the renewal of the historical Gängeviertel in Hamburg. As an activist and researcher
he opens up deep insights into the unusually close cooperation between involved citizens
politics and administration. He presents the framework conditions conflicts and adaptation
measures of the cooperation. Understanding urban space as a real-world laboratory he provides
concrete suggestions for action as to how resilience can be coproduced. He offers
future-oriented practical knowledge for driving the sustainable transformation of cities
forwards and raising the adaptability of urban systems.
