<strong>GWG</strong> <strong>München</strong><br />

– Living in our city<br />

“Cities are always made up of <strong>build</strong>ings and people,” writes<br />

architectural historian Spiro Kostof in his standard work, “The<br />

Face of the City”. This may sound banal but, in fact, it cannot<br />

be overstated. People put their stamp on their surroundings;<br />

they bring <strong>build</strong>ings, roads and squares to life.<br />

Munich is growing. Many people are attracted to the prosperous<br />

metropolis. And this situation is set to stay. Once quiet<br />

neighbourhoods will change their character and become<br />

fashionable suburbs, rented accommodation will be replaced<br />

by owner-occupied properties and luxury loft apartments will<br />

replace former industrial sites. But a city does not live from<br />

economic success alone; it is the mixture of the different social<br />

groups, types, nations and lifestyles that make up its character.<br />

<strong>GWG</strong> <strong>München</strong> is growing along with the changes in society.<br />

It has taken on the challenge of sustainably renovating its<br />

properties and will continue to provide affordable housing for<br />

the people of Munich. It will continue to modernise its <strong>build</strong>ings<br />

and <strong>build</strong> new ones. Because neighbourhoods need a<br />

good mixture of people from all backgrounds to keep them<br />

alive.<br />
