THE BUILT CITY 2.1<br />

DA–IK<br />

ACCEPTANCE AND PARTICIPATION<br />

Residents frequently view structural<br />

change ambivalently or even oppose it.<br />

Dialogue, participation and the partnership-based<br />

development of highquality<br />

solutions therefore must become<br />

matter-of-fact elements of the transformation<br />

of the built city, as in fact<br />

demonstrated by the successful concept<br />

of gentle urban renewal.<br />

FOCUS<br />

COMPREHENSIVE<br />

QUARTER DEVELOPMENT<br />

Gründerzeit buildings are particularly<br />

attractive for private real-estate investments.<br />

While this on the one hand<br />

engenders positive development dynamics,<br />

it may on the other hand – if not<br />

duly counteracted – entail massive rent<br />

hikes and lead to the crowding-out of<br />

lower-income groups, with undesirable<br />

consequences for neighbourhood development.<br />

Socially acceptable and comprehensive<br />

quarter development thus<br />

calls for efficient public regulation.<br />

DEVELOPMENT STEERING<br />

THROUGH FINANCIAL INCENTIVES<br />

Subsidised building rehabilitation – an<br />

approach characterised by long-standing<br />

success – contributes to higher housing<br />

quality and greater energy efficiency.<br />

Due to the forecasts and demands for<br />

growth with respect to the existing building<br />

stock, financial incentives need to<br />

be re-evaluated to enable further urban<br />

development.<br />
