The creation of lively and livable urban neighborhoods is one of the central tasks of settlement and urban development. The focus here is on ensuring that the urban community can live and work in their city or enjoy their leisure time. In urban development, the following areas of responsibility are highlighted for this purpose:
- Urban land use planning: Within the framework of preparatory and binding urban land use planning, the future structural development for different uses, such as residential, commercial or services, is mapped. Furthermore, urban land use planning directs the provision of areas for roads and infrastructure or for recreation of the population. In this context, the land use plan and the development plans based on it depict the corresponding uses for the entire city of Schramberg or a neighborhood.
- Urban redevelopment: The main task of urban redevelopment is the elimination of so-called urban blight and the creation of healthy living and working conditions. As a rule, this is implemented in urban neighborhoods. For the property and house owners affected by urban redevelopment, for example, subsidies are provided for the redevelopment of buildings, thus creating an incentive to improve the cityscape.
- Subsidy programs: Another component of urban development is also the provision and generation of subsidies for private measures. The focus here is on making urban neighborhoods more attractive and improving the living conditions or earning opportunities of the population through programs such as "Socially Integrative City" or "Energy Efficiency Redevelopment".
- Concepts and framework planning: Furthermore, conceptions and framework planning are necessary for the further development of the Great District City of Schramberg in order to achieve a targeted and demand-oriented urban development. These elements can be elaborated, for example, on a neighborhood and district basis or in the context of the city as a whole. The focus can be on individual topics, such as housing, commerce and mobility, or integrated planning can be developed for several and different aspects.
In this context, the requirement for sustainability laid down in the German Building Code (BauGB) is a central aspect. For example, in urban land use planning (land use plans and development plans), care is taken to ensure that social and economic as well as environmental protection requirements are dovetailed, particularly in view of the responsibility towards future generations. In addition, the legal regulations serve to ensure that land use is socially just and serves the common good.
To this end, various requirements must be taken into account:
- Housing needs of the population and healthy living and working conditions
- Preservation, protection and creation of jobs
- Concerns of mobility and traffic reduction
- concerns of the economy and supply of the population
- social, cultural, recreational and leisure needs of the population
- environmental and nature protection as well as landscape conservation and climate protection
- flood protection
In the context of urban development, different actors and interest groups must therefore be involved in the respective planning processes. An interdisciplinary approach is therefore necessary in order to be able to bring all concerns into an overall spatial context. In all spatial decisions about change processes and measures, it is of great importance to consider urban development as a unit or as a whole. Accordingly, at least the economic and social as well as environmental requirements and participation in decision-making processes must be included in the process.
In the following, we inform you about the currently ongoing conceptions and concept awards in the field of urban development in Schramberg.
