STADTundRAUM – The Public Space Area at FSB

STADT und RAUM planerForum

The thematic area “STADTundRAUM” will once again take a central position in Hall 9 at FSB 2025. The concept, which has been presented since 2005 in close cooperation with Rolf von der Horst and his team, will be continued and focuses on current topics in public space planning, as well as play and movement spaces.

With the planerFORUM as a professional supporting program for planners, municipalities, landscape architects, and schools, the planerLOUNGE as a meeting and networking area, and numerous special topics, this curated area holds a special attraction for trade visitors.

What makes this area particularly appealing is the unique combination of exhibitors, themes, information, and special exhibition formats. It has become an indispensable part of the FSB for the topics of public space – playground equipment – movement spaces.

This year, manufacturers of playground equipment and urban furniture will participate in special exhibitions on topics such as accessibility, sustainable products, inclusion, and intergenerational concepts.

In addition to the presence of well-known manufacturers, the area “STADTundRAUM” is also known for showcasing renowned planning offices from the field of landscape architecture who will present their work in the planerLOUNGE. These planning offices will also shape the content program on various days.

On all four days of the trade fair, an extensive lecture program will take place on the planerFORUM stage in Hall 9. This year’s focus topics include:

  • Water management concepts for public space and neighborhood planning
  • Inclusion
  • Schoolyards as movement spaces

The following planning offices have already registered:

As part of the planerFORUM, the BDLA DAY NRW will also be held on 26 October 2023 in cooperation with the Association of German Landscape Architects. Between 10:15 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., various topics from the field of open space will be considered and discussed. The event is also recognised as an advanced training event by the AK NRW.


Inclusion as a focus topic

In order to present the focus topic of inclusion not only within the planerFORUM using best-practice examples, a special inclusion showcase will be set up under real conditions for the first time. Within the “STADTundRAUM” area in Hall 9, trade fair visitors will have a unique opportunity to experience inclusive playground and movement equipment live – a strong impulse for barrier-free public space design.
