The IEK focuses on the areas along the S-Bahn routes south and west of the Rudolfplatz. The aim is to create a living quarters that integrates both producing business as well as social uses, culture and clubs. In this context, challenges are also pointed out, such as the impending withdrawal of the district planning sovereignty in the Rudolf band West by the Senate Administration. A planned 140-meter high-rise building, which is intended to include hotel and office space as well as high-priced living space, could significantly endanger the goals of the project.

usage structures and developments

The development of the Stralau neighborhood is particularly challenging because the commercial areas in the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg are under great pressure due to high structural density and inner-city exploitation pressure. Small -part productive businesses and craft businesses often have to struggle with competition from higher ground returns. In view of this competition, it is crucial to obtain existing commercial usage structures in order to ensure the diversity and economic stability of the area. The areas along the rail systems are particularly suitable for uses with higher stair potential, which requires special planning [Mein.Berlin reports] (https://mein.berlin.de/projekte/integrated- Development Concept Rudolf Band/information/).

The IEK planning perspective is a period of 20 years and includes replicas and measures for around 58,000 square meters of gross floor. It is expected that workshops on important topics such as the district attitude to the A100, the planning of Rudolfband West and the securing of commercial space are expected.

sustainable urban development as a model

The integrated development concept (IEK) aims to combine different concerns of urban development. Economic aspects, climate adaptation, monument protection and freedom design are taken into account. The inclusion of residents, owners and users is perceived as a central component. After the concept development has been completed, the implementable results are examined taking into account legal, political, temporal and financial framework. The process is made by the planning office BJP | Bläser Jansen Partner GbR accompanied on behalf of the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg District Office [Mein.Berlin reports] (https://mein.berlin.de/projekte/integrated- Development Concept of Rudolf Band/information/).

In European comparison, Copenhagen is a remarkable example of sustainable urban development. The city has set itself the goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2025 and pursues a comprehensive concept for CO2 reduction that promotes innovative mobility solutions and civil commitment. Copenhagen invests in renewable energies and plans the complete departure of coal until 2030. These strategies could serve as a source of inspiration for future plans in Berlin to ensure high -quality quality of life and economic stability Urbanist Magazin reported.
