Life or Vacant Space

Frankfurt is vacant. In every neighbourhood, in every street, there is a residential building with no one but the wind in it, a new luxury building where only half the lights are on in the evening or a store where nothing has happened for years. Vacancies are visible and commonplace — and should be abolished.
How can existing projects, such as the Leerstandsmelder, be used effectively to reach a public that goes beyond those with a professional interest? What approaches are there to combat different forms of vacancy that are effective in the public eye? And how can these be bundled in a meaningful way?

Eine Stadt für Alle! Frankfurt is planning a participatory campaign with other urban activists. The workshop will discuss the various forms of vacancy and how these can be brought back into the political discourse.
