New city district in Hohenschönhausen: Sustainable and lively!
A new urban project entitled “Quartier 27ha Possibilities” is being launched in Berlin, which will be realized on an area of 27 hectares between Ferdinand-Schultze- and Lichtenauer Strasse. The district office now officially has it Establishment decision which paves the way for an innovative urban district. This will not only offer 3,500 new apartments, but also modern commercial space and a comprehensive social infrastructure. The plan focuses on affordable housing and promotes the concept of a 15-minute city, which will enable access to important facilities within 15 minutes without a car. Demolition work has already begun on the industrial estate's old hall to make way for new roads and improved lighting.
Large development project in Ulm
At the same time, the Blautal Center in Ulm is transforming into the new, mixed one Blue.Quarter, one of the largest real estate conversion projects in Germany. The urban development association recently approved the development plan for the second construction phase, which includes over 1,000 new apartments as well as office and commercial space, restaurants and social facilities. From July 15, 2024, citizens will have the opportunity to take a first look at the plans and contribute their opinions. Christian Diesen, managing director of the responsible project developer HLG Real Estate, describes this as significant progress in a pioneering project that also aims to set standards for sustainability.
Both projects show the trend towards sustainable urban development by reusing existing areas and promoting innovative living concepts. The integrated mobility concepts are designed to support environmentally friendly transportation options such as pedestrians and to significantly reduce CO2 emissions through reused building materials. Such developments are not only important for their locations, but could also serve as a model for other cities.
