Greens want "Efficient House Nature+" funding programme

In a motion, Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen has called for a stronger focus on building with wood and the use of wood products as insulating materials. There should also be a KfW standard that focuses on building with renewable building materials.

The parliamentary group proposes a model programme for ecological building materials with a volume of 20 million euros. In the KfW Bankengruppe's programmes for new construction and refurbishment, the use of carbon-storing building materials based on renewable raw materials should be given greater support, for example in the form of a KfW Bankengruppe "Efficient House Nature+" standard.

City of the Future - Future of the City (2013)

Short info: "How will our cities develop? And who actually determines this - the city administration alone or also the citizens? In three European metropolises the reportage City of the Future - Future of the City looks for answers: In London we get to know the concept of the city as a profit-oriented enterprise that has to prove itself in global competition with other metropolises. In Hamburg, we follow the transformation of a problem neighbourhood as part of the IBA 2013, while the residents of a small, still original artists' quarter create their own living space. In Madrid, the problems of a constantly growing city are becoming concrete: an illegally built district has emerged just 20 kilometres from the city centre, which the residents manage independently. The area has become economically interesting for the city of Madrid in recent years. So the authorities have houses demolished - leaving families on the street. But there is resistance."
