Abstract: Demographic change represents a special challenge for all Europe. Its impacts on the economy, society and politics are already evident. As well as regions with growth, there are areas in Germany where population decline is significant – and which cannot be halted despite all efforts. And this is the reason why the cities of tomorrow can no longer orientate themselves on the urban model of a continuously growing city. Urban life quality and economic efficiency do not depend on the increase in the number of inhabitants and spatial usage but on the qualitative growth of sustainable sectors and projects: less is more. These are the principles of IBA Urban Redevelopment 2010. In its final year, it will be possible to review exemplary urban development solutions in the IBA cities – which may also be applied in other cities and regions all over Europe.
