Scholz is pushing for development: Tempelhofer Feld use for new apartments!

Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz recently spoken out in the Bundestag for the development of the Tempelhofer Feld in Berlin. In view of the acute shortage of housing in major German cities, he emphasized the need to create new apartments, especially in coveted urban areas. "We have to build new apartments to a huge extent, for example in Berlin," said the SPD politician. In his opinion, the former airport, which is currently unused, should be included in the planning for new living space, Scholz continued. The challenge of countering the lack of housing in Germany cannot be mastered without the development of new construction areas in the heavily requested regions, according to rbb24

However, the development of the Tempelhofer Feld is opposed to a referendum from 2014, which prohibits development of the area. The Tempelhofer Feld is currently being used as a recreation area. Despite these hurdles, the Berlin state government, consisting of the CDU and SPD, has already initiated initiatives in order to revitalize the public discussion about a possible development. Urban development senator Gaebler announced an international ideas competition and dialogue workshops with citizens to achieve a "re -evaluation" of the situation, such as Tagesspiegel reported.
