Grundlos glücklich? Bodenpolitische Perspektiven 2025+

An active municipal land policy is a prerequisite for urban development oriented towards the common good. Without land in public hands, it will be difficult. Mülheim Süd and Ehrenfeld, for example, are examples of where things are headed if the city relies unilaterally on private real estate companies. Years of private-sector exploitation have led to an exponential increase in the price of land, some of which once even belonged to the city - land that has largely remained sand deserts and building pits for years, or on which mostly unaffordable housing is being built, but not a sustainable city.
