With the funding announcement "Solar building / energy-efficient city"Together with the BMWi, the BMBF is providing up to 100 million euros over the next five years for research, development and Innovation in the field of sustainable urban development.
In the first round of calls for proposals, more than 60 consortia from city administrations, research institutes and companies applied for funding. Of these, the following six were selected:
The projects are intended to show how energy consumption in urban quarters can be reduced, the intelligent network of electricity, heat and mobility and that renewable energies can be sensibly integrated into the energy supply.

City as a pioneer of mobility change
Wuppertal is making waves when it comes to sustainable and modern transport systems. It is not only the 100-year-old suspension railway that has long symbolised the city as an innovative mode of transport. The new northern railway line for cyclists and pedestrians above the rooftops of the city has brought great recognition nationwide. A modern urban cable car is planned as a new mode of transport and is hotly debated.
And now the renowned Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy has presented the study "Car-free city centre Wuppertal Elberfeld", which provides further impetus for the mobility turnaround in Wuppertal and builds on a changed mobility culture.

22 municipalities across Germany will develop and implement a climate protection master plan with funding from the Federal Environment Ministry. The so-called master plan municipalities unite the goal of reducing their greenhouse gas emissions by 95 percent by 2050 and halving their final energy consumption compared to 1990. In Schleswig-Holstein, the region of Flensburg and the state capital Kiel are among the funded regions.
Federal Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks: "The pioneer municipalities are strong partners for us in the fight against climate change. They prove that long-term development towards 100 percent climate protection is feasible. To achieve this, the municipalities must involve their citizens and local businesses and pull together with them."
Commenting on the projects in Schleswig-Holstein, Hendricks said: "For us, the Flensburg region is the prototype for the transformation of a rural region. Its proximity to the city of Flensburg, which is also a Masterplan municipality, can show important examples of ambitious climate protection in an urban-rural relationship.
The Masterplan municipality of Kiel will play an important role in municipal climate protection, as it can lead the way ambitiously, especially in climate protection in ferry and cruise ship traffic. Its activities and goals so far suggest that we can expect a lot from Kiel."
The 22 new master plan municipalities will be supported and intensively monitored over a period of four years with funding totalling 12 million euros as part of the National Climate Protection Initiative of the Federal Environment Ministry. With their ambitious climate protection goals, they have a great impact as beacons of municipal climate protection.
In their first year of the project, the Masterplan municipalities will create a Masterplan that will show them the way to decarbonise the local economy and society by 2050 and set out measures for short-, medium- and long-term implementation. With their funding application, the Masterplan municipalities have submitted a resolution from their highest body that affirms the Masterplan goals.
At the heart of the project are the master plan managers, who ensure that structures are created both within and outside the administration during the project period that establish climate protection in the municipality.
The 22 new Masterplan municipalities are: Region Flensburg/Amt Eggebek, State Capital Kiel, University and Hanseatic City of Greifswald, Administrative Districts Hameln-Pyrmont with Schaumburg and Holzminden, Flecken Steyerberg, City of Emden, Administrative District Lüchow-Dannenberg, Zweckverband Großraum Braunschweig, State Capital Potsdam, State Capital Magdeburg, District of Lippe, City of Rietberg, City of Beckum, City of Münster, District of Gießen, Municipality of Sprendlingen-Gensingen, State Capital Mainz, District of Cochem-Zell, City of Kaiserslautern, Municipality of Birkenfeld, State Capital Stuttgart and District of Oberallgäu.

In the current issue of the timber construction magazine "Mikado", the design of the first construction site of Germany's largest timber housing estate is presented: https://www.mikado-online.de/wp-content//uploads/2017/05/2017_06_Geschosswohnungsbau_Muenchen.pdf
In the Ecological model settlement in Prinz Eugen Park in Munich, a total of more than 600 residential units are to be built in timber or timber hybrid construction. According to the Mikado article, all plots of land for the model housing estate, which is up to seven storeys high, have already been allocated.
