Field of activity: |
Socially Responsible Provision of Housing
|
Project description:
|
The social responsibility for providing housing, an environmentally suitable
modernisation and a resource protecting management of reserves, forms the
essential basis of sustainable development.
With the project Breul 32 - 36 and 38, which has been completed in the meantime,
the city of Münster intends to connect several objectives for sustainable
urban development:
- to preserve inexpensive living quarters in the city centre and
- by a contemporary up-dating of the buildings (renovation of the remains of
the building, newly installing the complete technical apparatus)
- concepts for the intelligent and flexible use of living area (adapting the
ground plan from the previous century to today's requirements
- high ecological quality (comprehensive thermal protection, use of rain
water, installation of a small block heating and generating plant)
- in close cooperation with all the participants, especially the inhabitants
who registered an association for the preservation of inexpensive housing before
the beginning of the measures.
- completion at reasonable costs (extensive participants' self-help in
building matters).
The tenants returned to their modernised homes from their provisional
quarters in 1998/99.
The accompanying research had as its objective to document the findings of the
modernisation with particular consideration of the involvement of the tenants
and, consequently, to make the findings useful for other projects.
After the modernisation has been completed, the main point of interest are the participants' self administration and the practical experience gained with
the smallest block heating and generating plant.

Current status: |
The final report on
accompanying research has been completed and a workshop "Housing
Modernisation Breul - Experience and Conclusions" is in process. The
final report for the sector "Test Phase of the BKHW - Works" has
likewise been completed.
The process of modernisation was awarded a prize by the state parliament of
North Rhine-Westphalia in the competition "Putting Sustainable Town
Development Projects into Action".
