Our goal is to develop a model city quarter for Munich that focuses on both current and future challenges around issues of sustainable development, thus providing a model example in both social and ecological terms. To this end, various conceptual specifications have already been determined in consultation with the City of Munich:

A model residential quarter

In particular, the plans aim to

• ensure that up to 50% of the apartments are built by cooperatives, thus creating the largest cooperative housing project since the Second World War (and for the first time ever in Munich by private developers and on this scale),
• and to significantly extend the rent controls typical of subsidised housing to up to 60 years, thanks to the high cooperative share. To this end, the site owners have already signed a letter of intent with GIMA München eG, an association of 29 Munich housing cooperatives,
• specifying that cooperative forms of housing be taken into account in the urban and landscape planning competition,
• that different income levels, age groups and lifestyles be catered to,
• and that a neighbourhood network be created that promotes a lively coexistence between residents and neighbours, and which offers opportunities for residents to actively participate in shaping their living environment.

A model quarter for mobility

In particular, the plans aim to

• use central neighbourhood garages, sharing services and mobility stations to incentivise residents to give up their own cars,
• to utilise space-saving developments and intelligent traffic management in order to create a largely car-free neighbourhood,
• to develop a mobility concept that reduces traffic to and from the neighbourhood and keeps environmental pollution as low as possible,
• to provide charging stations for electric vehicles,
• and to create attractive foot and cycle path connections with a high number spaces for bicycle storage.

A model quarter for energy

In particular, the plans aim to

• create a city quarter that is energy-neutral in its annual balance sheet and CO₂-neutral in its operation,
• to make an important contribution to climate and resource protection through intelligent arrangement of the various buildings, low-energy construction and
• a neighbourhood-wide energy concept that is as CO₂-neutral as possible,
• to make solar power an integral part of the concept,
• and to utilise greenery on roofs and facades in order to reduce the heat load and create comfortable micro-climates.
