In our podcast Kreativstarter*innen, we take you on a tour of the Hanseatic city's successful creative companies. Today we take you behind the scenes of the urban planning office JES. How often do we stroll through neighbourhoods and ask ourselves whether anyone has actually considered the people who live and work there when planning them? For the Kreativstarter*innen, the time has finally come for us to visit an architectural office. We want to know: How do you plan lively places for people? And what happens to the spaces between the buildings?
Julia Erdmann, an architect and urban planner at JES, knows all about this. The abbreviation stands for Julia Erdmann Socialtecture. The S is particularly important, Julia tells us, because socialtecture combines what many places still lack: social life and architecture. And that brings us to the core of this episode. It's about urban planning in a whole new way. Of course, we also have our creative starter checklist with us again. Indra Musiol answers questions about jobs and starting a career at JES at minute 23:53.
JES is a company that focuses on urban design with "socialtecture". The question is: How can we design cities that are "social" - with lively places for people? How can this go hand in hand with "tecture", with the buildings that are created? And what actually happens in the spaces between the buildings, which ultimately make up city life?
