  abstract     = {{Urban transformation and urban preservation are often seen as contradicting goals. Currently, there is no agreed - upon strategy on how to transform historic parts of the city while maintaining their heritage values. Many cities today are characterised by modern 20th - century heritage, yet it poses a challenge to their liveability and to the adoption of less car - dependent lifestyles. The concept of 15 - minute cities can be used to improve urban liveability, which may positively affect the experience and functionality of modern historic urban landscapes (HUL). A review of the existing literature on the 15 - minute city concept was carried out with the aim of identifying its key indicators and proposing possible new ones. This research primarily explores how the 15 - minute city concept can be applied holistically and efficiently in modern heritage. Following the PRISMA guidelines, 20 articles published after the introduction of the concept and meeting the inclusion criteria in the Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases were reviewed. Selected examples and case studies are analysed to contextualise these variables and explore how they can be reflected in modern historic urban landscapes. As a result, the following variables are identified as central to the 15 - minute city concept: mobility, time, distance, speed, functions of the amenities each with their associated indicators. Moreover, spatial characteristics, human - centred factors and heritage values are proposed as variables. The results are expected to give insights into how to operationalise the concept of 15 - minute cities in modern sites of historic urban landscapes, in order to improve liveability while simultaneously preserving its values. This research contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by promoting walkable, climate - resilient neighbourhoods. In particular, it aligns with SDG Target 11.4, which focuses on cultural and natural heritage.}},

Die Stadt der kurzen Wege, als Gegenbewegung zur autogerechten Stadt, setzte in den 1980er Jahren ein und verfolgt im Kern ein diametral entgegengesetztes Ziel – die fußläufige Stadt. Doch auch fast vierzig Jahre später zeigt sich in den meisten Stadtteilen, Wohnsiedlungen und Schlafdörfern noch ein ernüchterndes monofunktionales Bild.}},

  abstract     = {{Resource efficiency was the central theme of Prof. Dr. Uta Pottgiesser’s key-note address. In other words, efficiency with regard to the sustainable usage of buildings, but also of land and materials. At the same time, the ambitious goal of “not demolishing, but rather converting,” the demand for a “new culture of car-ing and repairing,” has a central impact on the professional requirements in ar-chitecture and planning–and thus also on the content of teaching and training. In this context, it becomes clear that cultur-al heritage can serve as a model in many respects; by the same token, it must per-haps open itself up even further in terms of content with a view to the age of mod-ernism. }},
