Lecture Topic
Under the title “Düsseldorf School Construction Offensive,” Anna Montag and Dominik Thoma demonstrate how the state capital of Düsseldorf is responding to the growing demand for school space with extensive investments. New buildings, expansions, and renovations create modern learning and living spaces while simultaneously addressing challenges such as rising student numbers, dilapidated infrastructure, the entitlement to all-day schooling, and the return to G9. With an investment volume of approximately 2 billion euros by 2030, the School Construction Offensive provides insights into the opportunities and challenges of rapid, high-quality development of modern educational landscapes.
