IBA27 in Stuttgart

The Internationale Bauausstellung 2027 (IBA27) is a ten-year project aimed at transforming the Stuttgart urban region into a liveable and sustainable space. Launched in 2017, IBA27 is managed by IBA 2027 StadtRegion Stuttgart GmbH, a partnership between the City of Stuttgart, local authorities, and economic development corporations. IBA27 focuses on showcasing innovative building projects that address social, technological, and ecological challenges. The exhibition locations include homes, neighborhoods, and infrastructures that demonstrate mixed-use and sustainable urban planning. Projects range from the redevelopment of the historic Weissenhof Estate to the conversion of public transport hubs into urban meeting places. The organization operates through an open and dialogue-based format, engaging local residents, experts, and international partners. Specialist forums and working groups provide a platform for discussing topics such as politics, society, economy, and mobility. An international board of trustees oversees the project selection process, ensuring a diverse and high-quality range of initiatives. IBA27's approach emphasizes collaboration and community involvement. The organization encourages participation through events, public forums, and membership in the IBA'27 Friends e.V. association. By fostering a collective effort, IBA27 aims to create built role models for a sustainable future, radiating from the Stuttgart region to a broader international audience. With its exhibition year set for 2027, IBA27 is on track to present a comprehensive showcase of innovative urban development strategies.
