The Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo creates more space for cyclists and pedestrians - and wants to push cars out of the city in the long term. Everything else is "old-fashioned".

"Nearly two million affordable homes are lacking. The situation is likely to get worse. Social housing must be promoted more strongly."
There is a shortage of 1.9 million affordable flats in major German cities. Low-income earners in particular often cannot find a rental flat they can afford. The situation for households at risk of poverty is particularly tense in Munich, the Rhine-Main region and Cologne-Bonn. But affordable housing is also scarce in cities with many low-income earners such as Berlin, Leipzig or Dresden. This is the conclusion reached by Henrik Lebuhn, Andrej Holm, Stephan Junker and Kevin Neitzel in a study funded by the Hans Böckler Foundation. The urban sociologists from Humboldt University Berlin and Goethe University Frankfurt investigated which flats people can afford and how this fits in with the supply on the respective rental market.

Construction is like an orchestra: everyone is responsible for their instrument, for their tool. Only the perfect interplay creates a strong melody or a future-oriented building. The message of the song: "I've got cool modules and a wall of glass, I tap into the sun, I never need gas again.
