Today, more than 77 % of Germany's population already lives in cities and urban agglomerations, and the trend is rising. Both the economic and ecological pressure on the availability of urban and peri-urban land has increased noticeably in the past. At the same time, the provision of recreational and welfare functions is still one of the essential tasks of qualified green and open spaces. Against this background, the urban climatic effects and the ecosystem services of urban forms of greening in particular are being newly discussed, scientifically investigated and evaluated.
In order to minimise the effects and challenges of these developments, a sustainable green infrastructure is also crucial.

The 2017 film about the gardens of the internationally renowned Dutch garden designer Piet Oudolf will be shown for the first time in Munich.
Filmmaker Thomas Piper uncovers Oudolf's creative processes and views, from the first sketches and conceptual designs to his philosophical and aesthetic credo and the ecological implications of his work. Piper employs various lighting effects and depth of field, as well as unusual framing and color schemes, to create an environment for the contemplative atmosphere and changing moods of Oudolf's gardens. In this way, he succeeds in communicating an emotional spectrum that encompasses both the transience of beauty and the beauty of transience.

Woody plants in climate change, insect nutrient woody plants, biodiversity and exchange of dendrological experience are currently of great importance. The German Dendrological Society offers an extensive network of experts and interested parties who exchange information on woody plant issues. It conducts woody plant walks and identification exercises, meets for expert excursions and exchanges experiences on robust urban trees, current tree diseases and new pests.
From autumn 2019, there will now also be a regional group in Upper Bavaria - all interested parties are cordially invited to the founding meeting on 12 October at 3 pm in the dendrologically outstanding private garden of the Haimerl family (Marzling-Goldshausen near Freising).

The focus of the 3rd symposium is on barrier-free playground design. There is a lot of uncertainty here and few good examples of implementation. We will explore the questions: How does the art of designing attractive play environments succeed? When does "overprotection" impair the play value? We will also discuss the current changes in the regulations, such as the missing parts of DIN EN 1176 and the new version of DIN 18 034: Playgrounds and open spaces for play.
The symposium offers suggestions and ideas and invites an active exchange of ideas. In the outdoor area, a course offers participants interesting, new experiences - on paths and surfaces that we might not have considered passable until now.
A new feature is a day specifically for playground users. Various contributions on Sunday, 20.10. will teach parents, educators and children what makes good playgrounds, how much risk is permissible and desired and what is meant by the term play value.

12th Weihenstephan Forum 2019: LOS_DAMA! Final event
Landscape Architecture and Landscape Planning
Urban "everyday" landscapes have important social and ecological functions for the cities of the Alpine region. At the same time, the diverse requirements of numerous interest groups in politically fragmented urban regions have to be reconciled. "Green infrastructure" is a promising planning approach for the development of multifunctional green networks that simultaneously achieve different policy goals, such as strengthening social cohesion and biodiversity. The European project "Los Dama! has developed and tested different approaches for the development of "green infrastructure" through inter-communal cooperation with different stakeholders. At the end of the project, the Weihenstephan Forum offers the opportunity to take a closer look at the potentials of landscape development as a connecting medium between city and countryside, European funding and local practice as well as science and practice in lectures and discussions.

Architects, not Architecture puts on stage what otherwise takes place behind the scenes. In each case, three renowned architects are guests and tell their own story instead of reporting on their award-winning and often international projects. They talk about their very personal careers and what has influenced and moved them along the way. Personal experiences, intellectual attitudes and their very own intellectual biographies come up for discussion.
You can read why we highly recommend this series of events in our interview with organizer Fermín Tribaldos here.
On September 12, 2019 at 7 pm at the Literaturhaus München, guests will have the opportunity to get to know the stories behind three very formative architectural figures as part of the 4th Munich Edition.

Field wild herbs are an important component of the field ecosystem, e.g. as a food source for insects and field birds. Across Bavaria, about one third of the field wild herbs are endangered or already extinct. As part of the project "Arable wild herbs for Bavaria's cultivated landscape - production-integrated promotion of rare and endangered arable wild herbs", these species are collected regionally, propagated and established on suitable sites.
