As of today, the web database for sustainable settlements and neighbourhoods can be accessed under the domain \"sdg21.eu\". The previous domains www.siedlungen.eu, www.holzbausiedlungen.de and their subdomains are still active and lead directly to the respective contents.<\/p>\n
Why the move to sdg21.eu?<\/strong> The reason for this is that this website is not only about settlements, as www.siedlungen.eu would suggest, but increasingly also about urban districts. There are not as many urban quarters with more far-reaching sustainability concepts as there are sustainable settlements or eco-settlements. However, the urban structure of mixed-use neighbourhoods, in the best case scenario, and the significantly lower land consumption in most cases for the same usable area, is in itself a significant contribution to sustainable development. Mixed-use neighbourhoods are conceptually ideally suited to organising everyday mobility without private cars and are an established and proven method of creating affordable housing in the city.<\/p>\n In order to be able to communicate this topic more directly, there is now an additional access within the sdg21.web database via the URL www.quartiere.net.\u00a0<\/a>This link will directly display Sustainable Urban Neighborhoods.<\/p>\n In general, the use of the letters \"sdg21.eu\" should further help to make the \"sustainable development goals\" better known.

\nThere is a content-related and a practical reason for this. The practical reason is the somewhat shorter spelling, but also that it is easier to pronounce.<\/p>\n
\nThe web database is still available via the domain www.siedlungen.eu<\/a> available. Sustainable settlements will continue to be a focus of the sdg21.web database, because this is where most projects and experiences have been made so far.<\/p>\n
