This natu- rally concerns home building, but also involves long-term prospects and strate- gic objectives regarding social infrastructure, mobility, public spaces and much more besides. The central questions facing urban development to date have been: how can these developments be designed, and how would people like to live and work? Urban planners have the task of accompanying a city through its pro- cesses of change, as well as creating space for cultural encounters. The lively socio-political dialogue surrounding urban planning culture and the quality of urban construction and architectonic design in Munich underlines the extent to which residents identify with their city and their immediate living environment. Munich must remain a city with a high quality of life. The core task of the Department of Urban Planning and Building Regulation is, and will continue to be, to provide a broad spectrum when creating housing – something we call the “Munich mix” – and thereby ensure that the city retains its socially-balanced population. At the same time, housing construction in Munich should contribute to the identity of the city’s districts, with innovative solutions and high-quality architecture. Since 1989, almost 165,000 new homes have been built in Munich. In future, the city aims to build a further 8,500 new homes per year. This is an ambitious target, as space is increasingly at a premium in the city. The process of obtain- ing planning permission, obtaining construction approvals and then completing a project is certainly a long one. Yet the city is currently working with “Wohnen in München VI”, the most comprehensive communal residential programme in Germany. The ongoing policy action programme runs until the end of 2021, and will see € 870 million of city funds deployed to construct affordable and subsidised homes. Potential sites for development, as generated by the Long-term settlement development project through its “densification”, “restructuring” and “urban 4 fringe development” strategies, require the willing cooperation of numerous pro- tagonists. Growth does not end at the city limits, and so the Regional Alliance for Housing Construction and Infrastructure (Regionales Bündnis für Wohnungs- bau und Infrastruktur) was established to work together with towns and commu- nities in the region to make more land available for home building. Various end uses are in competition for the remaining available land. More peo- ple also means greater infrastructure requirements. The school-building cam- paign alone needs space for at least 45 new schools by 2030. An increasing number of residents in Munich will also require sufficient open outdoor spaces. Should land be built on or left as open space? One strategy from the “Freiraum München 2030” concept is to “stack” open space over buildings, or to re-use spaces in an intelligent manner. New mobility concepts are also a focus with regard to the future viability and sustainability of Munich and the European Metropolitan Region Munich (EMM). Effective collaboration as part of the EMM is crucial. The expansion of local pub- lic transport in the region and the increased efficacy of interfaces at Munich Cen- tral Station, the second Stammstrecke route and further tram and underground (U-Bahn) lines are essential developments if we are to shape individual mobil- ity and accessibility effectively despite the rising population in the city and the region. Planning-related public relations and resident participation are essential require- ments of sustainable urban development. This is in part due to the growing demand for, and interest in, transparent information, communication and partici- pation. At this point, I would like to thank everyone who contributes to our projects, as the City Council could not face the challenges of the coming years alone. Spe- cial thanks go to the residents of our city, who have supported these projects so thoughtfully, actively and discerningly. This is how it should be, of course – the city belongs to us all! 5 Department of Urban Planning and Building Regulation Who we are Introducing: the Department of Urban Planning and Building Regulation From studies of demographic change and urban land-use planning to construction approvals and nature and architectural conserva- tion, the Department of Urban Planning and Building Regulation oversees an enormous range of issues. Around 800 members of staff take care of a diverse range of different tasks. The Urban Development Planning section develops prospects for the future of our city within the framework of the Perspektive München urban deve- lopment concept, as well as planning for potential future land use and trans- port developments in the city. Using analyses and forecasts, concepts and strategies, plans and action programmes, as well as conducting active public relations work, it works to maintain, secure and further enhance Munich’s standing both as a place to live and as a place to do business. Its objectives are to create a united urban community, future-ready settlement structures and a city-friendly approach to traffic, with reduced travel distances. Collabo- ration with nearby towns and communities, as well as neighbouring regions and actors from the fields of business, culture and social affairs, is also of vital importance. The Urban Planning section continues a long-standing tradition spanning from the first city expansion in 1800 to the first urban architecture competition of 1892, Theodor Fischer’s guidelines and rules for the city (the Generallinien- planung and Staffelbauordnung), through to the present day. Using framework Members of management in discussion 6 plans as a basis, staff in this section ensure practical implementation of the stra- tegic urban development planning objectives. They safeguard organised archi- tectural development as part of construction and green space planning, ensure socially-appropriate use of land that serves the common good, provide a livea- ble environment and maintain the quality of the city, its nature and the surround- ing countryside. As Bavaria’s largest awarding authority, the Urban Redevelopment and Hou- sing section promotes new construction and modernisation of affordable rental and freehold homes. It monitors and secures rents in social housing, over- sees the municipal housing associations GWG and Gewofag, and serves their tenants. Together with the Münchner Gesellschaft für Stadterneuerung – MGS, the Urban Redevelopment section ensures that problems relating to the city’s redevelopment areas are resolved, and secures the resulting structural improve- ments for the long term. The section’s work contributes significantly to the fact that Munich residents are supplied with homes they would be completely una- ble to obtain on the private housing market. The Building Authority (Lokalbaukommission – LBK) is the largest building approval authority in Germany. With thousands of individual decisions and hours providing advice and consultancy, the Authority shares responsibility for the qual- ity of life of Munich’s residents and ensures that an orderly cityscape is main- tained, legal standards are observed and safety in the construction sector is ensured. The Lower Construction Regulatory Authority (Untere Bauaufsichtsbe-
