Mayor of Stuttgart
Prof. Dr. Danuta Hübner
EU Commissioner for
Regional Policy
a warm welcome to the 2 nd international
conFerence on managing urban land
Welcome to the city of Stuttgart, Capital of the state of Baden-Württemberg. The issues that will
be addressed at the 2nd International Conference on Managing Urban Land are of great importance
to all local and regional authorities both in Europe and in the rest of the world. How can we succeed
in promoting employment and growth without consuming additional resources? How can we use
urban brownfields in order to revitalizes and modernizes our cities? I am delighted that Stuttgart
has the privilege to serve as venue for this major conference.
We see ourselves as an international city and are therefore very much interested in an exchange
on the European and international levels. In Stuttgart people from over 170 nations live together
in peaceful coexistence. Over 100 languages are spoken here. Over the years, we have built up
numerous networks on subjects ranging from mobility, to social integration policies, development
aid, child friendliness or the challenges posed by demographic change. It is our firm belief that the
best solutions arise from an exchange of best-practice examples. Over and above this, transnational
co-operation has the advantage that it fosters closer links between and mutual understanding for
one another thus helping promote peace through-out the world.
I want to invite all delegates, conference schedule permitting, to take time out to discover our city.
Stuttgart is the “European Capital of Sport 2007” and the host city for four world championships as well
as venue for the World Athletics Final. In the autumn, just a stone’s throw away from Stuttgart International
Airport, Stuttgart‘s New Trade Fair Center will open its doors to the public. It is designed as a showcase
for the export-oriented companies of Baden-Württemberg. Explore our city, its theatres and museums, its
parks and recreational opportunities!
I wish you a rewarding stay in Stuttgart!
Best wishes
Dr. Wolfgang Schuster, Mayor of Stuttgart
The aim of the REVIT project – development of new concepts for sustainable regeneration of
brownfield sites – represents one of the major challenges for European cohesion policy: creating
the conditions for sustainable jobs and growth as well as preserving the environment.
In many European cities, there are brownfield areas which need to be revitalised in order to attract
new jobs and investment and to improve the quality of life. I am therefore very pleased about this
important initiative launched by six European partners (Hengelo, Medway, Nantes, Stuttgart, Tilburg,
Torfaen). By sharing experience and by developing new innovative approaches on brownfield
regeneration they can enhance urban development throughout Europe.
I am delighted that the INTERREG „North West Europe“ programme has contributed to the success of
the REVIT project. This form of co-operation is part of what Europe does best. Bringing people together
to share ideas and to work together to make them happen. REVIT concludes as we embark on a new
programming period 2007-2013 for European cohesion policy. In this period we will further strengthen
networking and mutual learning between regions and cities. In fact, the European Commission has
recently launched a new initiative called „Regions for Economic Change“ to boost the dissemination of
best practice in economic modernisation and innovation across the Union. I would be delighted if the
lessons learned from the REVIT network could find their place in this new initiative.

Dr. Annette Schavan
Federal Minister for
Education and Research
The rapid development of towns and cities is leading to urban sprawl in Germany. While there
are currently more than 2,000 square kilometres of urban brownfield sites, a total area of about
310 square kilometres is newly developed for transport and housing every year – this is roughly
equivalent to the size of Munich. It is therefore an important public task to ensure that brownfield
sites are made available for housing, industry and transport. Only in this way can we protect our
landscape and preserve our natural and cultural heritage and thus maintain, improve and shape
our quality of life and development potentials.
In order to recycle brownfield sites, a number of different aims such as protection of the
environment and nature conservation, economic growth as well as the provision of socially
compatible housing, quality of urban building and mobility must be brought into harmony.
Particular attention must be paid to the successful remediation of the contaminated sites
of old smelting plants, gas works, chemical plants and explosives manufacturing plants.
It is our aim to reduce the present use of greenfileds for housing and transport to one third
(30 hectares per day) by the year 2020.
The funding priority „Research for the Reduction of Land Use and for Sustainable Land Use
Management (REFINA)” of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research is part of the
Federal Government’s national sustainability strategy. With this programme we will support
projects for efficient land use which develop and implement, in particular, utilisation
concepts for brownfield sites in city centres with a total of about 20 million Euro.
The programme is funding projects which develop and implement exemplary innovative
approaches for the redevelopment of brownfields in the future.
Innovations are, however, generated mostly at the interfaces of different disciplines.
Co-operation between different disciplines is therefore of outstanding importance for
changing course in the use of natural resources.
The challenges in front of us cannot be mastered at national level alone. The 7th Research
Framework Programme offers an excellent platform for European co-operation.
The aim of the 2nd International Conference on Managing Urban Land is to bring together
a wide spectrum of experts and disciplines in the field of the management of urban land.
The emphasis will be on exchanges of experience about proven methods, innovative solutions
and applications of new technologies and tools. First results of projects funded under REFINA
will also be presented. I wish all those taking part in the conference every success and many
new ideas for your further work.
Dr. Annette Schavan, MP
Federal Minister for Education and Research

main obJectiVes & ParticiPants
The management of urban land poses a variety of challenges
for many stakeholders. Sustainable land management can
stimulate investment, generate jobs and positively affects
the quality of life positively. It contributes to the preservation
of cultural and industrial heritage and helps to clean up and
restore the environment. Last, but not least, it keeps urban
life in urban agglomerations, restricts the extent of urban
sprawl and minimises transportation and traffic needs. The
current situation in many countries of the world indicates
a growing need to exchange best practice approaches for
land management. Land consumption, urban brownfields
and urban sprawl are significant topics for various political
initiatives.
We invite you to participate in the 2nd International
Conference on Managing Urban Land.
It will bring together a wide range of professionals managing
urban land to share best practice experience, problemsolving
knowledge and the application of new techniques
and tools. Current thinking and future trends in innovative
land management will be highlighted and new approaches
for public and private sector decision-making will be explored.
The outcome of the conference will formally contribute
to a number of European research activities and funding
programmes in the field of European regional development.

CABERNET is a European
multi-stakeholder expert network
– originally funded by the EC –
that is working to enhance the
rehabilitation of brownfield sites
within the context of sustainable
development of European cities.
CABERNET explores new management
strategies, innovative
tools and stimulates co-ordinated
research activities. CABERNET is
jointly organised by the University
of Nottingham and the Federal
Environment Agency.
Presented by
REVIT – In every country
and in almost every city of
Europe, there are brownfield
areas which need to be revitalised
in order to preserve
or improve the quality of urban living conditions.
The revitalisation of brownfield sites
may enhance coherent urban development,
but can also create new employment and
stimulate the local economy. Last but not
least, revitalising brownfields for a variety
of future uses preserves greenfield sites and
prevents the growing consumption of land.
Therefore REVIT strives to achieve a higher
acceptance and better image for revitalised
brownfield sites by testing their own
models and tools on the local project areas
of each partner and reporting best practice
examples in this context to other cities and
regions in Europe.

Vital elements oF the conFerence

Numerous European regulations refer to brownfield redevelopment
business. Professionals and their organisations in
the field of geotechnical, environmental or civil engineering,
architecture and planning or real estate business are invited
to contribute to various kinds of consultation processes.
The fact remains that a unique “European Brownfields Association”
does not exist. However coordination among the actors
involved would help to raise the profile of brownfields
among in legislative bodies and facilitate European standardisation.
Participants invited by an initiative of the German
scientific-technical association for Environmental Remediation
and Brownfield Redevelopment ITVA will explore ways
of future European cooperation of brownfield professionals.

Session 19: Sustainable Regional and

Venue: Glashaus
Chair: Bernd Scholl, Institute for Spatial and

The economical use of land is the key aspect of every
sustainable Spatial Planning and Development strategy.
Central European countries facing stagnating or even
decreasing population are still struggling to limit further
expansion of settlement areas.
Countries like Switzerland and Germany are currently
adopting a Spatial Development strategy, which allows combining
economic growth and limitation of settlement areas
in a mid- and long-term perspective. This shall be achieved
via the principle of “internal development before external
development”, via regional land management, and complementary
city networks. In a co-operative project between
several regional planning authorities in the southwest of
Germany, ministries of the state of Baden-Württemberg, the
canton Basel-Landschaft, the university of Karlsruhe and as
lead the professorship for spatial development at the Swiss
Federal Institute of Technology are inventing cross-border
sustainable regional land management .
