City centers are undergoing constant change. Challenges such as online retail, changes in mobility, climate change and demographic change are changing shopping behavior and the demands placed on public spaces. The coronavirus pandemic has hit city centers very hard at times, with lockdowns and restrictions on movement. The question of which existing development trends have been reinforced by coronavirus and which "new" trends have emerged is the subject of controversial debate. The colloquium will present and discuss the results of research projects and funding programs on the consequences of corona for inner cities. We will discuss transformation requirements for a resilient city center with speakers from retail and planning practice.

The colloquium will take place digitally via Zoom.
