BBSR: Promotion of environmentally compatible mobility in urban districts
Published
The Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs and Spatial Development (BBSR) is looking for municipalities that enable new solutions for climate-, environmentally- and socially-compatible mobility in their urban districts, as well as a pleasant stay in public spaces. This includes, above all, the development and optimisation of infrastructure for pedestrian and bicycle traffic, the linking of different mobility offers, the increase of the quality of stay through...
Climate protection has long been one of the most urgent topics for the housing industry. In order to achieve a climate-neutral building stock by 2050, the 24 founding companies of the Wohnen.2050 initiative met in Berlin on 28 January 2020 to found the association. The nationwide association was initiated by the Nassauische Heimstätte | Wohnstadt group of companies.
"Don't just talk about climate change, act" - under this motto, the Nassauische Heimstätte | Wohnstadt group of companies invited founding partners from all over Germany to found the Initiative Wohnen.2050 (IW2050) association. The overarching objective is a climate policy alliance which, in addition to strategic cooperation and a technical and content-related comparison, focuses primarily on economic and financial concerns to achieve the targets.
The event was opened by Axel Gedaschko, President of the Federal Association of German Housing and Real Estate Companies (GdW). "For the housing industry, climate protection is one of the most urgent topics - and all those involved have been making a continuous contribution for a long time. To achieve the two-degree target and a climate-neutral building stock by 2050, the stakes need to be raised significantly once again. The situation requires not only commitment, but transformation," Gedaschko explained.
Nationwide association of the housing industry
The Wohnen.2050 initiative combines concentrated know-how and relies on the open-source approach. Solutions and tools for the resource-saving development of company-specific paths to climate neutrality are jointly developed and exchanged. In this way, even smaller companies are given the opportunity to position themselves in an economically and factually appropriate way. "We are facing what is probably the greatest challenge of our time. That's why it was clear to us that we needed an industry initiative to meet this challenge together and in partnership," says Dr. Thomas Hain, Managing Director of the Nassauische Heimstätte | Wohnstadt Group and member of the IW2050 Board of Directors, about the climate protection commitment.
Over 1 million housing units when the association was founded
The approach is convincing: on the day of its foundation, the initiative already represents around 1,050,000 housing units and six of the ten largest German housing companies within the GdW. "The participation and interest were overwhelming. We are proud to set out today with a staggering 24 founding companies on the path to a climate-neutral future," said Felix Lüter, Head of the Sustainability Competence Centre of the Nassauische Heimstätte | Wohnstadt Group. After the official founding of the association, the participants discussed possible financing and climate strategies in working groups. In the coming weeks, there will be further meetings to develop strategies and measures to achieve the goals set.
Main goals of the initiative
Unified positioning to raise financial support to achieve climate goals in the housing sector at federal and state level
Exchange know-how on climate strategies and concrete actions of the members and thus make knowledge accessible; only with pooled know-how and reduced use of resources of the individual companies is it possible to develop solution strategies in a timely manner and then implement them in the 2020s
Publicise the pioneering role and climate protection commitment of the sector, especially of its members.
Activation, empowerment and motivation of employees of participating companies to contribute to the achievement of climate targets and communication of climate protection commitment to customers

The Rosenstein urban planning competition recently ended with the decision on the winning design. First place went to the Stuttgart-based asp Architekten/Koeber Landschaftsarchitektur consortium. Detlef Kron, Head of the Office for Urban Planning and Housing, opened the exhibition on the Rosenstein competition in the Church of St. Maria at Tübinger Straße 36 in Stuttgart on Friday, 27 September, at 5 pm.

At the opening event, Kron said: "The Rosenstein urban planning competition was a complete success: with over 50 submissions from international planning offices, the city of Stuttgart has received a wide range of design ideas for the future Rosenstein quarter. So that the people of Stuttgart can now also get a picture of them, we will be exhibiting the results in the Church of St. Maria over the next four weeks."
The Office of Urban Planning and Housing is displaying all the submitted works from the competition in the exhibition. In addition to plans, drawings, and information about each submitted proposal, revised first and second place models will also be on display. The exhibition will be open for viewing daily (except October 3) between 10am and 6pm until October 25, 2019. Admission to the exhibition is free of charge.
Since 2017, the parish of St. Maria in the south of Stuttgart has made its church available for events other than church services. Whether theatre, café, gallery or marketplace - for two years now, the church of St. Maria has been tested as a space for togetherness with the implementation of various event formats.
Urban planning competition 2018 and public participation
In summer 2018, the city of Stuttgart announced the "international open urban planning competition Rosenstein - Ideas for the new district". The aim of the planning competition was to obtain an urban and open space planning design as a model for the future development of the Rosenstein district. A total of 54 international planning offices took part. Beforehand, citizens were able to contribute their own wishes and ideas for the Rosenstein Quarter at various information events and workshops held by the City of Stuttgart. These were incorporated into the competition.
The Rosenstein development area is currently considered the largest construction project to be realized in Stuttgart in the near future. It stretches between the main railway station, Nordbahnhofviertel, Rosensteinpark and Schlossgarten and offers 85 hectares of space for future-oriented living and working in the heart of the city. The Rosenstein Quarter is to be developed into an urban and mixed district with a high diversity of uses, attractive public spaces and internationally renowned cultural offerings. In addition, the quarter is to be developed under climate-friendly aspects. In addition to the expansion of the parks, the guiding principle of the energy-plus quarter plays a major role: the future buildings should generate more energy than they consume.
Exhibition in the Glass Office
Currently, the designs of the winning office asp Architekten/Koeber Landschaftsarchitektur are also on display at the Info-Laden Rosenstein auf der Prag e.V.. The exhibition in the Gläsernes Büro at Nordbahnhofstraße 81 can be seen until October 12, always on Mondays and Wednesdays between 5 and 7 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and by appointment.
