Abstract
Imagine the ‘ideal’ city. What is it like in order for everyone to live well? What does it look like? These were the questions discussed during the International Women’s University at the University of Kassel in the summer of 2000 (Neusel, Poppenhusen 2002) by approximately 100 participants from various countries and cultures, all of whom shared a normative concept of city that served as a basis for the deliberations and discussions. All agreed that the city should be a place of civil culture and democracy, of tolerance and solidarity, of sustainability and beauty.
