EXPERIENCE OF TRANSFORMING PUBLIC SPACES OF RESIDENTIAL AREAS IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 20th CENTURY IN GERMANY

Abstract

The article reveals the results of field studies of transformations made to public spaces in residential areas of prefabricated buildings in the second half of the 20th century in the cities of Germany (Berlin−Fennpfuhl, Marzahn, Dresden−Prohlis, Gorbitz, Halle−Silberhöhe, Neustadt). Based on the increasing needs of the population’s quality of life to prevent degradation of spaces and outflow of residents, there was a need in these cities to transform residential areas. The article analyzes methods and approaches to the transformation of public spaces in the areas of the post-socialist period, based on the renovation of the existing areas of prefabricated building in the 1960-80s in Germany.
