On the west side of the Merwedekanal, a new sustainable urban quarter is being built in a central location not far from Utrecht Central Station. An urban development plan for the redevelopment of an industrial area along the canal was drawn up by the municipality of Utrecht together with ten landowners. The plan envisages a mixed district with 17 blocks. Here, 6,000 to 9,000 apartments are to be built for approximately 12,000 residents. The area is to become a showcase for healthy and sustainable living with innovative concepts for recycling, energy production, climate adaptation and mobility solutions. Size: 60 ha. Planned completion: by 2024

More and more cargo bikes can be rented throughout Germany. For good reason: if you only need a transport bike occasionally or want to test it out in detail first, you don't need to buy one right away. For this case, cargo bike sharing systems or rental offers are particularly attractive.
An up-to-date list of cargo bike sharing systems in cities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland can be found on the blog cargobike.now.
Anyone looking to buy a cargo bike will find a comprehensive overview of the market here:
Nutzrad.de. Interesting transport solutions with trailers are also presented there.

A subsidy programme for small electricity storage units with grants of up to 3000 euros was launched today in Brandenburg. The State Ministry of Economics and Energy supports private homeowners in purchasing a battery storage unit if they generate the electricity themselves with a photovoltaic system on their own roof.
The small-scale storage programme is initially limited to 500 subsidies. It follows the previous year's 1,000-storage programme, which, according to Energy Minister Jörg Steinbach, had met with great demand. Within only six weeks, 1,026 applications had been submitted. Funding of over 5.3 million euros was approved.
The funding programme has already been exhausted.

With the architect Amandus Samsøe Sattler, the German Sustainable Building Council - DGNB e.V. has a new president. He succeeds Prof. Alexander Rudolphi, who will continue his work on the association's executive committee. The change was announced today during the DGNB Sustainability Day in Stuttgart. The election was held on the eve of the event by the ten members of the DGNB Executive Committee. Samsøe Sattler will initially take over the office until the next DGNB general meeting in the middle of next year.
"I am very pleased about the trust placed in me," says Amandus Samsøe Sattler, who has been volunteering as part of the DGNB Executive Committee since 2015. Many developments in recent years, such as the launch of the "Phase Sustainability" initiative, have made the new representative function within the DGNB even more interesting for him, says Samsøe Sattler. Therefore, there will be no fundamental change of course with him as president - on the contrary. "I consider the cooperation with the DGNB office to be very valuable and would like to continue the path the DGNB has taken in recent years." He sees a central task for himself in introducing the topics of sustainability even more strongly to architects, engineers and building owners from the real estate industry.
"We work hand in hand as a team on the board of the DGNB," explains the founder and managing director of the Munich office Allmann Sattler Wappner Architekten. "This will also be the case in the future, except that I will additionally represent our board even more strongly in the future." He is pleased that Alexander Rudolphi will continue to contribute his extensive experience to the DGNB.
Prof. Alexander Rudolphi remains active in the DGNB Executive Committee
Prof. Alexander Rudolphi had held the post as DGNB president for a total of eight years - as founding president in the first year of the association in 2007 and in the last seven years since 2013. "The DGNB has been on a very good path for many years. The core requirements of the assessment and certification system are more correct and up-to-date today than ever before," explains Rudolphi. "At the same time, I am increasingly impatient that the necessary progress is not being made fast enough politically and in the market. Here I would like to work even harder for our common goals in the future. For this I would like more freedom - both in terms of time and content. With Amandus Samsøe Sattler, I know that the office is in the very best hands." In the future, the civil engineer wants to work especially in the political arena in Berlin and for a stronger regional spread of the DGNB in the north-east of Germany.
In addition to Amandus Samsøe Sattler and Prof. Alexander Rudolphi (Rudolphi + Rudolphi), other members include Barbara Ettinger-Brinckmann (Bundearchitektenkammer), Martin Haas (haascookzemmrich - STUDIO 2050), Hermann Horster (BNP Paribas Real Estate), Prof. Anett-Maud Joppien (TU Darmstadt), Prof. Dr.- Ing.Ing. Anke Karmann-Woessner (City of Karlsruhe), Dr.-Ing. Peter Mösle (Drees & Sommer), Prof. Matthias Rudolph (Transsolar) and Prof. Josef Steretzeder (Lindner) to the DGNB Executive Committee.
Various key topics are on the DGNB's agenda for the coming months. For example, cooperation with municipalities in the area of sustainability and climate protection will be intensified as part of a new initiative. The topic of digitalisation will also play a central role at the DGNB in the next six months. In addition, the activities already initiated at the beginning of the year concerning climate-positive buildings - not only in new buildings, but also in existing buildings - will be further intensified.
