The connecting link and landmark is the "landscape staircase", which is a good kilometre long and 30 metres wide and slopes gently down to the south. The development of energy-efficient buildings and the use of regenerative energies was financially supported with funds from the EU research project POLYCITY (funding period 2005-2010). The complete investment volume of the project with a floor area of 480,700 m² amounts to 1.5 billion euros. German Urban Development Award 2006.
The energy supply is provided by a biomass block-type thermal power station (1 MWel and 6.3 MWth), solar collector systems with an area of 200 m² and photovoltaic systems integrated into buildings with a capacity of 70 kW.
