They are in a highly complex, reciprocal relationship with changing environmental, social, political, economic and religious constellations. Accordingly, the demands placed on cities and the ideas associated with them are often subject to highly dynamic change. Especially against the backdrop of increasingly rapid urbanisation, shaping this change is one of today¿s central challenges and it deserves a prominent position in public discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe booklet ¿Urban Design¿ aims to show the complexity of this discourse. It invites reflection on the possibilities of designing cities and their impact on the present and the future. To this end, it brings together contributions from very different disciplines, each of which provides their own perspectives on the phenomenon of the city.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA basic idea here is that contemporary cities cannot be designed without a deeper understanding of their historical dimension. On a practical level, this entails the (selective) visualisation of the archaeological cultural heritage, with its implications for identity politics. But its is also concerned with the dependence of historical city images on contemporary discourses, for example, religious ideas and their political utilisation or literary imaginations of the urban.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoreover, the booklet also wants to inquire about the direct effects of material urban design on the residents. For instance, design characteristics influence orientation and movement in urban space and thus determine the movement options of handicapped and elderly people. The urban environment also has a direct impact on human health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe extent to which current discourses on environmental problems and climate change are changing the requirements for urban design is exemplified by contributions on the topics of transport and climate-neutral construction. It is to be expected that innovative ideas in these areas, in particular, will change the appearance of the cities of the future in the long term.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Urban Design between Past, Present and Future\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnnette Haug\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArchaeological Heritage in the Historic Urban Landscape\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUlrich Müller\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUrban Models in Transition: The Roman City in the Levant Region and Its Spaces\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatric-Alexander Kreuz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSacred Design: ¿Holy Cities¿ and ¿City Saints¿ in the Middle Ages\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndreas Bihrer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMental Conceptions of Cities in Literary Texts of the Middle Ages\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMargit Dahm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCity, Memory and Orientation: Design Features of an Age-friendly City\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnnika Hanert\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUrban Living and the Rise of Lifestyle Diseases: Lessons from Microbiome Research\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThomas C.
