In 2022, he also completed his doctorate in Landscape Planning at Universität Kassel, and since May 2024, he has been Head of the Building Department for the city of Koblenz. Dr. Lukas has also held a lectureship in environmental and planning law at Hochschule Geisenheim University since 2019 and is now an honorary professor for the Landscape Architecture department.
Nature Conservation and Development Planning
In his inaugural lecture, Dr. Lukas will be presenting on the requirements of conservation law for the preparation of urban land-use plans. According to the German Federal Building Code, urban land-use plans should help protect the foundations of natural life. These plans determine not only the architectural aspects of a city or municipality but also the use of its open spaces. Lukas’ lecture offers an overview of the individual tools of conservation law and describes how conservation issues can be properly accounted for in urban land-use plans.
Open Invitation to Interested Guests and Members of the Press
We are delighted that Dr. Lukas is enriching Hochschule Geisenheim University with his expertise and would like to formally invite interested students, staff, and members of the public to his inaugural lecture. Afterwards there will be refreshments and a chance to exchange ideas at the Villa Monrepos.
