On the costs of modernisation measures for tenants
In November 2016, the Working Group on Tenancy Law in the RAV published the brochure "Price Driver Modernization" was published. It describes in detail the problematic effects of modernisation measures on tenants. In addition, the authors criticise the legal situation and call for fundamental new regulations under tenancy law.
The Paris Motor Show: Once again, the electric car is the focus of a major auto show. But the hoped-for breakthrough is still a long time coming. Cars with combustion engines should therefore pay higher fuel costs, says Florian Hacker of the Öko-Institut to the 3sat business magazine makro.
The video reports on Norway, the country with the most e-cars in Europe. There are about 20% in the new car segment with electric drive. Furthermore, the plans of the German automakers are presented. One actually gets the impression that the government requirements from California and China, globally important sales markets, as well as the emissions scandal create the necessary pressure to act, so that now some momentum comes into the German car market.
The fact that traffic and urban planners as well as environmental experts assume that cars in cities will be used in the future mainly in car sharing parks is mentioned, but is not the focus of the contribution. Nevertheless, the video is worth watching because it shows the current state of affairs regarding e-mobility in Germany.

The 52° Nord quarter in Berlin's southeast convinced this year's jury of experts and, with its sustainable and architecturally coherent overall concept, wins the German Housing 2020 Award for the best quarter development.
The Award Deutscher Wohnungsbau is the first award for developers and clients in the area of multi-storey residential construction. The architecture prize is awarded by a jury of experts. This year's jury members include Reiner Nagel, Chairman of the Executive Board Federal Foundation for Building Culture, Sabine Schneider, Editorial Manager of the architecture magazine Baumeister and last year's winner Lars Krückeberg, GRAFT Architekten.
The award-winning 52° North quarter covers around 100,000 m² and is located in the Grünau district of Treptow-Köpenick between the banks of the Dahme River and the Teltow Canal on a former industrial wasteland. A striking feature of this district development is the 6,000 m² water basin, the ecological and visual heart of the district: as part of the overall sustainable concept, rainwater from the surrounding buildings is collected here and biologically purified by planting along the sides. Evaporation returns the rainwater to the natural water cycle and improves the microclimate in the quarter - an example of contemporary rainwater management based on the model of the sponge city.
A neighbourhood square with a café, publicly accessible riverside promenades, play and recreation areas, an energy centre and an eco-nursery round off the concept. Daniel Riedl, member of the Management Board of Vonovia SE and responsible for BUWOG's development in Germany: "In Quartier 52° Nord, we have implemented a quality-first approach, i.e. with the first construction phase we have designed a sustainable residential environment that creates flair and quality of life at the same time - for the new residents and also for the people in the surrounding area. This award confirms to us that architectural and sustainable qualities must be thought of together and are essential success factors in neighbourhood development."
With a large number of different architectural firms designing the individual buildings on the various construction sites, Quartier 52° Nord is today one of the largest inhabited architectural parks of the post-reunification era. The area is being developed in sections, with overall completion expected by 2024. Three construction phases are currently under construction in Quartier 52° Nord: BUWOG THE VIEW, BUWOG REGATTAHOF and the BUWOG LOTSENHÄUSER - realised in timber hybrid construction (KfW-40).

After a construction period of just under one and a half years, Germany's first Efficiency House Plus development was opened in Hügelshart near Augsburg on 14 July. The nine single-family houses and four semi-detached houses produce more energy than their residents consume on average for everyday life. The estate was built by asset bauen wohnen gmbh in cooperation with BayWa AG in accordance with the criteria of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Building for Efficiency House Plus houses.
