which the Garmischer Strasse was integrated<br />

into the Mittlerer Ring. Clearly,<br />

the section from the Luise-Kiesselbach-<br />

Platz towards the Westpark had to absorb<br />

this traffic, resulting in a drastic<br />

change to the quality of life there. The<br />

fact that a tunnel is currently being<br />

planned to take the traffic away from<br />

the Garmischer Strasse shows which<br />

way the wind is now blowing. The “carfriendly”<br />

city now has to show that it<br />

means what it says. The tunnel offers a<br />

great opportunity to reconsolidate a<br />

neighbourhood that has been cut into<br />

pieces by traffic. <strong>GWG</strong> <strong>München</strong> is now<br />

undertaking a major programme of<br />

urban renovation to increase the quality<br />

of life in the surrounding neighbourhood.<br />

District 7, as Sendling-Westpark is<br />

officially called, is now on the way to<br />

becoming one of the most pleasant<br />

neighbourhoods in the Bavarian capital,<br />

combining a central location with a high<br />

quality of life.<br />

Sendling-Westpark is located in the south-west of Munich,<br />

and stretches from Schwanthalerhöhe (Westend) and Laim in<br />

border is the S-Bahn railway line to Wolfratshausen. The<br />
