Flensburg is planning a new building: 6,360 apartments until 2035 on the agenda!

The Mayor of Flensburg, Fabian Geyer, addressed central issues on urban development in an interview. In the series "About the annual threshold", which is published on the #stadtvonmorgen and newsletter platform, he commented on the transformation tasks of German cities and their challenges. The central topic for Flensburg is housing construction, in which a new building requirement of 6,360 residential units from 2022 to 2035 is forecast. 680 residential units have already been realized in the past two years.

planned new apartments are being built in the renovation areas of Schwarzenbachtal and Bahnhofsviertel. Downtown development also remains an important goal to increase the attractiveness of the city by 2025. A challenge here is the repair and redesign of the flood -damaged Kaikan. Geyer referred to financial hurdles that comment on an expected budget deficit for the coming years.

challenges in financing and digitization

Flensburg is strongly dependent on funding measures such as the country's urban development funding in order to be able to implement projects. The city's own funds increase to two thirds of the funding amount, which could lead to restrictions on the implementation of projects. Regular financial planning security and sufficient personnel resources are crucial for the implementation. In addition, Flensburg suffers from a shortage of skilled workers, which also increases the challenges.

In order to improve internal processes and contact with the administration, digitization is promoted. Geyer expects federal politics to have a clear future perspective and financial support for municipal tasks. His target for Flensburg is a greener, mobile, barrier -free and more livable city, which remains attractive as a business location. An important aspect is the forward -looking transport policy and the involvement of citizens in urban development.

In addition to the challenges in housing construction, the research project "affordable and future -proof building and living" has new approaches. This project aims to promote the compatibility of affordable and future -proof building and includes a guide that has been developed from 42 selected model projects. According to the results, 20 principles have been identified, which take into account basic aspects such as the availability and nature of the building site, multi -generative usage claims and the long -term nature of affordability, such as bbsr reported.
