The demolition of the multi-storey car park is imminent, the planning workshop was a great success, many groundbreaking political decisions have been made, and more are on the horizon. Above all, many city makers are on board and want to be involved in a very concrete way. They want to participate, to shape, to plan, to build. The fact that this high level of commitment of all those involved here on site has now also triggered such a response at federal level encourages us to continue on the path of 'making a city at B\u00fcchel'.\"<\/p>\n<p><strong>City Planning Director Burgdorff: \"Aachen can play in the Bundesliga!\"<\/strong><br \/>\nThe municipal councillor for urban development, construction and mobility, Frauke Burgdorff, adds: \"I am extremely pleased that Aachen, if it sticks together, can also play in the Bundesliga! Aachen's politicians have united behind the project and have given their backing to the state and federal governments. Thank you for that! But I would also like to express my sincere thanks to those who have done the substantive work here on site, to the municipal project manager Nils Jansen as well as to Christoph Guth and Antje Eickhoff, who have done an excellent job on the part of the municipal development company SEGA.\"<\/p>\n<p><strong>Making town at the B\u00fcchel<\/strong><br \/>\nA special piece of the city at eye level is to be created at B\u00fcchel. It is being developed together with many committed people and institutions. With this approach, it has also precisely met the requirements of the call for proposals. The Federal Ministry's project overview states: \"Knowledge, living, meadow\" are the keywords under which a mixed-use, urban quarter is to be created in the heart of Aachen's old town in a cooperative and exemplary development process that is wanted and supported by the urban community.<\/p>\n<p>The basis for the development is the exploratory procedure \"Stadt machen am B\u00fcchel\" (Making a city at B\u00fcchel), which the city of Aachen launched in spring 2020. City Planning Director Burgdorff sums up: \"A multi-storey car park has been blocking the development of the old town for decades. We are tearing it down and building a new urban quarter. The urban community itself is developing the programme, urban design and investment strategy. This project offers a unique opportunity to find answers to the question of how a major wound in the old city can be healed with contemporary building-cultural responses.\"<\/p>\n<p><strong>The next steps<\/strong><br \/>\nFollowing today's basic commitment by the federal government to fund the project, the detailed applications for funding will be drawn up in phase 2. In this ongoing process - and on the basis of upcoming landmark decisions of Aachen's municipal politics - it will now be worked out how the B\u00fcchel of the future will take shape with the funding millions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>National urban development projects<\/strong><br \/>\nNational urban development projects are nationally and internationally visible, larger-scale urban development projects with clear impulses for the respective municipality or city, the region and urban development policy in Germany as a whole. They are characterised by a special quality standard with regard to the urban development approach, the building culture aspects and the participation processes, contribute to the realisation of the federal government's building policy objectives and have innovation potential. National urban development projects are projects that generally solve tasks and problems of considerable financial dimension. The focus is on the major challenges currently facing cities and municipalities in Germany (e.g. preservation of existing buildings, conversions, sustainable neighbourhood development).<\/p>\n<p>A total of 24 projects for forward-looking urban development are being funded by the federal government with a total of around 75 million euros. 98 cities and municipalities from all over Germany applied for the funding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More info<br \/>\n<\/strong>Interesting facts about the B\u00fcchel can be found on the Internet at<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.buechel-aachen.de\">www.buechel-aachen.de<\/a><\/p>\n<p>From Aprill 2021 the <strong>Demolition work on the B\u00fcchel multi-storey car park.<\/strong> All the info on this has been presented as part of an online event.
