On siedlungen.eu there are now photos of the sustainable showcase quarter eQ in Pfaffenhofen for the first time.
In 2012, Pfaffenhofen received the German Sustainability Award in the category "Small Towns and Municipalities", and in 2011 the town of Pfaffenhofen was named the most sustainable town in the world (category 20,000 - 75,000 inhabitants), partly because of the Eco-Quartier.

URBAN MINING - The city as an eternal source of raw materials

45 min. A 2012 Broadcast from 29.10.2012. 3sat
While the mountains of waste in our cities are growing, raw materials are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive worldwide. For decades, mineral resources have been shipped to the industrial nations and used in high-rise buildings, mobile phones and cars, for example. Today, metropolises are gigantic raw material mines. Researchers and companies are now starting to mine.

The Munich City Council's Committee for Urban Planning and Building Regulations has decided to promote the construction of new, contemporary timber construction projects. This year, the city council will develop another grant programme for construction using wood and other renewable raw materials.
The subsidy programme is suitable both for individual projects and for larger housing estates and neighbourhoods. The aim of the city administration is to ensure that around 50 percent of the buildings on municipal land are constructed using timber.
