STADTart
brings together ideas, concepts and players to shape the future of Cities and Regions
STADTart
was founded in 1990 by Ralf Ebert and Dr. Friedrich Gnad. Our team develops ideas, solutions and strategies within the triangle of CityRegion - Culture - Planning and cooperates with other planning consultancies throughout Europe.
Core activities
Culture and arts, creative or culture industries, knowledge industries, cultural tourism, leisure industries, sports industries, etc. Recent studies produced by STADTart include a series of Culture and Creative Industries Reports on behalf of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and for some other of Germany’s federal states, and a study on Sports Industries in Berlin and the Ruhr.
Policy fields
Urban and regional development, city marketing, policies for federal states/regions/cities, e.g. the "Integration of Arts, Culture & Co. into Urban Development of Berlin".
Applied research
STADTart conducts studies and surveys for both the public and private sectors, e.g. on conversion concepts (culture, media, sports) for the temporary use of derelict land (for example in Bremen).
Communication
STADTart has a special interest in facilitating planning and participation processes, including methods of moderation - e.g. "Culture industries in Germany - basics, challenges, outlook" on behalf of the Enquete Commission "Culture in Germany" of the German Bundestag.
