IOER Forum

The IOER Forum is a series of events organised by the IOER to promote dialogue and exchange with society. Every year, in a spring and an autumn series, we dedicate ourselves to current topics of sustainable development and transformation of neighbourhoods, cities and regions with different event formats. Guests from Germany and abroad include actors from research, public administration, companies, planning practice, politics, business, associations and civil society. The IOER Forum is open to all interested parties. Participation is free of charge, registration is not required. To enable as many people as possible to attend our events, most of them will be broadcast live.

Autumn series 2023:
No net land take - competition for land in cities, regions and landscapes

Prudent land use is seen as one of the key factors for a "Great Transformation" towards sustainability. Currently, about 55 hectares of land are "consumed" every day in Germany for new buildings and infrastructure. The German government wants to reduce this figure to less than 30 hectares per day by 2030. In 2050, the bottom line should even be zero. To achieve this, we need to better understand land use in Germany. The autumn series 2023 of the IÖR Forum is dedicated to this topic. We will start with a panel discussion in September. This will be followed by in-depth lectures by academics and practitioners until December.
