Project description:
|
A sustainable housing development can not come to a halt at the town borders.
The module project I.5 therefore sought for inter-municipal agreements on the
housing concepts of the City of Münster. In doing this, trends and
guidelines of housing development were established and, suggestions were
made for economical use of the land assigned for new housing. Suggestions were
likewise made for the further development of the housing sector based on
sustainability and documented by best practices from the region.
After delimiting Münster's housing market region, the development trends
up to now were analysed and guidelines laid down in dialogue with the most
important actors involved. The statistical analysis confirmed
that a market for rented flats in the suburban communities was developing and
the average size of plots for new housing was continually decreasing.
In four communities, which are representative for the inner ring
(Drensteinfurt, Greven, Laer and Nottuln), the practice and policy of
housing land development were investigated and assessed in
detail according to the criteria of sustainable urban development in
coordination with the communities. The criteria were gleaned with special
reference to suburban areas.
The potential and operational scope for economical land management were
documented using ten "best practices" from the urban region. The
findings show a wide range of strategies for suppressing property prices and
controlling the development of settlements by communal building land
management and for moving in the direction of area-saving building development
and ecological house construction. The readiness for a regional division of
labour in urban development is still under-developed but an interest in a better exchange of information
has already been articulated.

Current status: |
The project is terminated
and the final report is now available.
The recommondations which were developed during the process now are adressed
and will be put into practice as much as possible. Momentarily the installation
of a regional housing market monitoring system is being discussed.
