Topic: The project investigates new spatial potentials between commercial and urban development in a cross-comparison of good and innovative practice examples of European urban regions. The focus is particularly on space-saving concepts with a densification and mixture of commercial uses. The practical examples of other urban regions will be examined for their transferability to selected areas in the city and region of Munich. The project offers a dialogue between different actors in the Munich region as well as the exchange with experts of innovative examples from other urban regions. As a result, concrete impulses and ideas for urban and regional development in Munich and for individual development areas within the city and region are available.
The project partners are the City of Munich and the City of Unterschleissheim, the municipalities of Haar and Neufahrn and Business Campus Management GmbH. The focus is on innovative practical examples and, derived from these, impulses and development potentials for industrial sites in the core area of the Munich Metropolitan Region.
The project develops a three-pronged approach. Firstly, "commerce" as an "urban building block" with a give and take of manufacturing industry and urban development will be examined on the basis of successful and innovative examples in Germany and individual European examples. Secondly, it will develop approaches to solutions for the city and region of Munich. For selected areas, concrete development opportunities are shown. Thirdly, these solution approaches are primarily developed via a dialogue platform for actors in the Munich region. The project involves key players in real estate, economic and urban development in the work process and offers an exchange of experience between experts from other urban regions in dialogue with the players in the Munich region.
