A further milestone was laid on 26 and 27 November at the “Baku General Plan – Strategic Session” in Azerbaijan’s capital: The State Committee for Urban Planning and Architecture met up with AS+P Managing Directors Friedbert Greif and Joachim Schares together with the responsible urban planners to coordinate the next planning steps with all the stakeholders involved.
The German Design Council has awarded the accolade of “winner” to both the “Badya City Integrated Urban Planning” and the “MHK European HQ Newbuild”.
AS+P was able to win out in a Europe-wide tender and is now taking on the role of general planner commissioned by the City of Krefeld to refurbish the sports site.
How will automated vehicles change our lives? Where are the opportunities and challenges? Future streets require planning today. This timely book envisions ways in which changes to urban mobility and technology will transform city streetscapes and, importantly, how cities can prepare. It is a reflection on the relationship between new technologies and urbanism, as well as an agile urban design manual with pictures illustrating potential spatial arrangements enabled by the new technologies. Two case studies in the central urban cores of London and Los Angeles will be presented to show how neighborhoods can be redesigned for the better and how to apply good urban design principles across towns and cities worldwide.

Cities and traffic are inseparably connected. Vehicles, goods, and people move almost incessantly through urban streets. At the same time, the quality of life offered by a modern city is measured in the amount of attractive traffic-free urban space for movement it can provide. Areas that are exclusively reserved to pedestrians play an important role in this context. The case studies presented in this volume provide an overview of the multitude of possibilities offered by pedestrian areas and illustrate why they are considered to be the heart and soul of 21st century cities. AS&P is featured with the "Metro Urban Design and Streetscape Manual" project in Riyadh.

A group of international experts discussed important aspects of higher education in spatial planning in this publication. Friedbert Greif, managing partner and director with AS&P, provides insight into what educational requirements are demanded by an independant planning office. Michael Heller, Project Co-ordinator with AS&P, wrote about Lectures in Spatial Design.

Dr. Klaus Engel, Dr. Jürgen Großmann and Bodo Hombach present this new collection of essays about the change of structure in Germany’s Ruhr region. Bodo Hombach: “Phönix flieg” is a new manual for the region. However disparate the authors’ facets, ideas, and perspectives might be, they underscore one thing they have in common. In the Ruhr region we are moving in one direction: forwards! The editors of the book were able to get the “Who´s who” of German business, politics, society, and science on board. People who are calling for something new and different frequently get their say. For example the dismantling of parts of the Ruhr region, as the architect Albert Speer advocates in his essay Abriss und Konzentration (demolition and concentration).

In their interviews for the regional section of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper, its editor Werner D'Inka and the head of the local section Peter Lückemeier elicit interesting views from and insights into the lives of famous contemporaries. The two FAZ journalists adopt a simple approach when selecting their 20 discussion partners: They only speak to people that interest them. Prof. Albert Speer, who has made Frankfurt his home and whose involvement with its urban planning since 1979 has included the trade fair guidance plan, the downtown guidance plan, the concept for the development of the banks of the River Main, and the Europaviertel, was one such choice.

Once Hannover had been chosen as the host of the Expo 2000 it became necessary to restructure and to substantially enlarge the fairgrounds from 90ha to 160ha. In 1994 the Swiss firm Arnaboldi Cavadini won the urban design competition. In order to compile the Master Plan a working partnership was formed with AS&P and Kienast, Vogt and Partner. Albert Speer speaks of the Expo Hannover as an “urban expo”, an enduring urban site with public squares and parks which incorporates the old fairgrounds. Included in the planning task over the next few years is the integration of the adjoining residential areas, Bemerode to the north, Kronsberg to the east and Laatzen to the south. In regard to access it was essential that a new urban rail line and a new fairground train station Laatzen be simultaneously built.

Albert Speer + Partner is one of the few German architectural offices to enjoy long-standing international renown. In over thirty years, the office developed such large-scale projects as the Diplomatic Quarter in Riyadh for the new capital of Saudi Arabia or the large government buildings in Abuja, the newly laid-out Nigerian capital. The preconception of Frankfurt as a modern finance and service metropolis and as a representative cultural location was also largely determined by the planning of AS&P. And of increasing importance are urban planning and architectural design projects for extensive abandoned industrial and military sites, especially in East Germany. Linking architecture and urban planning is typical of AS+P´s work. This unusual, comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to planning enables integrative solutions, effective in the long term and oriented on urban reality. In this respect Peter Eisenman once said about Albert Speer: “His projects are a mark of social concern. His writings on urban form are a plea for sanity and reason. And his teaching develop the idea of community at a scale which is neither nostalgic for an unlived past nor for an impossible future.“ (Architecture and Urbanism, 7/1994) This first comprehensive book publication on AS&P documents about forty mostly recent and very diverse projects and demonstrates the office’s special planning methodology.
