Project description:
|
In the operational programme of 1997, Münster's city council decided
on the guidelines of "interior and exterior development" which are
also part of the agreement regarding quality. In assessing the potential
for "sustained modern living", an important prerequisite for
transforming this course of action has been created. This potential is
already being considered when living areas are certified in the zoning plans.
The project takes the following strategies of the field of action into
consideration: the reduction of growth in densely settled areas, the
re-utilisation of urban fallow ground and empty buildings and optimizing the
use of planned urban density.

Exemplary design for increased density
|
The method of action is dialogue orientated in cooperation with a workshop
comprising local groups of citizens and a group of experts from the local
administration. It is divided into the following constituents:
- Creating a workshop comprising local groups
- Defining locations: housing building areas, mixed areas
- Defining settlement structure types: 12 types depending on building and recreational structure
- Defining and mapping promotional elements and competing usage.
- Ascertaining reference projects for the assessment of potential and successful application.
- Appraising the quantity of potential in a potential corridor.
- Project study in suitable areas: analysis planning law, urban project, building studies.
- Inquiry at building contractors: stability and experience.
- Strategy development: building land mobility, quality security, infra-structural capacity. Changing the guidelines
- Recommendations and documentation.
