How can we live well in the city today and tomorrow - while respecting the environment and posterity? Together with you, we want to find answers and try out and explore the good life of tomorrow. The aim is not to completely remake what is, but to transform it carefully and over the long term in cooperation with citizens, science, politics and business.
"District Future – Urban Lab" is a real-world lab of the Institute for Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis (ITAS) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Together with local stakeholders and people, the real-world lab aims to make the city of Karlsruhe - especially Karlsruhe's Oststadt district - fit for the future.
The "Quartier Zukunft - Labor Stadt" is run by the Karlsruhe Transformation Center for Sustainability and Cultural Change (KAT). The team is driven by the conviction that an eco-socio-technical transformation towards sustainable lifestyles and a future-proof world can only succeed together. Interdisciplinary cooperation between science, politics, administration, business and committed citizens is an important starting point.
What does Quartier Zukunft – Labor Stadt do?
The following video introduces Quartier Zukunft and provides insights into the research work in the real-world lab. The footage was recorded during the Joachim Reutter Award Ceremony for Social Innovation in October 2021 (length: 3:14 min.).
