Join the conversation, thinking and MitStreiten

In the public discussion on "Munich Perspective" citizens should actively influence and a say. The launch event were Mayor Christian Ude and "invited guests" to speak. For the continuation of the action, the Department of Urban Planning and Construction has developed four strategic guidelines. This she now wants to present to the public and discuss it with her. From dialogue "with the public and" hopes to Unit "valuable suggestions and remarks" that will feed into the work process.

While urban planning Councillor Elizabeth Wish to Talk of the citizens happy and at the opening night said she was not only people seeking to "think, say and participate in planning," but also "companion", was Lord Mayor Christian Ude at the opening event of the "Boom Town Munich - period of success of his children? "on 13 March in the House of Literature skepticism as well, whether the city can ever get their problems under control. Too well known to the former tenant lawyer Ude, namely the continuing pressure for generations on the Munich housing market. He has been exacerbated in recent years. More and more people here whose homes and purchase and rental prices increase accordingly continues to increase, in just ten years, according to Ude "quickly to billions of dollars."

The cost of living are in Munich, in his words, the problem number 1 According building needs to spend nearly a third of households in Munich for the rent for more than 40 percent of income. Where the rent level, according to the market rent index have not yet reached 20 percent Mietsteige-tion every three years are allowed - to rise far more than wages, salaries and pensions. The gap between income and rental rate is expected to open even further, Ude.

If the city if they could, then, prevent the further construction of luxury apartments in the city? First, the law allows the no. And secondly, wealthy Munich would then ask the more affordable housing just yet, so continue to cut back the offer. "Gentrification," said Ude, describing "a pressing problem" for at least a generation. Since the financial crisis of 2008, there have, however, "increase the ludicrous" - "as during the gold rush. Because international capital flees in concrete now gold. "

This is true not only in Munich. Berlin had to fight more information Ude to three years with vacancies. Now, he says investors also put there "towards any cost." Especially Mu-chen in the property market but pays the price for his reputation as a healthy and growing de city. 2005 17 percent of Munich's urban population has a per capita income of 3,000 € per month had. Meanwhile, there are 31 percent, nearly twice as many, which may well bid. By contrast 18.5 percent of households in Munich have to make do with less than 1,000 € per month, which threatened to be suspended. In order to curb the price rise, the city, put in just five years, according to Ude 800 million euros in the promotion of social housing. Here, the city must also shoulder other burdens. Thus only the concrete restoration of subway lines in the next ten years will require 700 million euros. And for the child care needs of the city, in the words of the Lord Mayor is also an annual three-digit million amount.

Should we, as a consequence of the growth of the city "to make easy conclusion" if growth leads to more stress and shrinkage "more dreadful problems" generated, said Ude. He recalled the opposite trend to Munich as in Hall, the former workplace of Urban Planning Councillor Elizabeth Merk. About a decade after the fall of that city had lost because of the German internal migration around 100,000 people and 40,000 dwellings too much so - housing, lack of urgency in Munich. But this problem to the Bavarian capital has not only been the turning point. Already since 1848, since the census, lived in the city, according to Ude more newcomers than babies here.

What to do? Elizabeth wished to evaluate Wish Interview with Professor Dr. Ingrid Breckner, urban sociologist from Hamburg and Munich philosophy professor Dr. Julian Nida-Rumelin and Professor Dr. Dr. Franz Josef Radermacher, mathematician and economist at the University of Ulm. More wealth is the leverage? According to Nida-Rumelin can the economic performance of the five-day week in the 1960s by producing the productivity gains today in two and a half days. Do we therefore twice as good, or should we follow the example of Bhutan, which took more gross national product would look more gross happiness product developed? On the other hand, the real income of the general population, according to Nida-Rumelin have not risen further since then. "The top three percent creams." Asked the professor of philosophy, without any other specific, to grow those areas, leading to better quality of life, and others to slow down or even prevent it.

Radermacher seconded first: "You can do most efficiently the wrong thing." The plundering of the planet was sanctioned internationally. The individual state could do little, however, and the influence of a city is marginal. However: where there is scope, the city had to use it well. Munich's policy in this regard called Radermacher as well. Watch called for a new spirit of optimism in Munich and less "steady pressure" from. The Urban Planning Councillor wishes for the coming urban redevelopment as much "cultural acceptance". For their future was the "emotional climate" is crucial.

Ude, called the communication process must take place in the city honest. My interests are legitimate, you should not hide but behind alleged common good - with the motto: Developed please the town, but "not in his own district, not in their own street, not at the dog park opposite, and certainly not in our own backyard. "Especially when it comes to responding homes for the needy, but also in child care facilities for the urban community Ude experience often brusque rejection, even with" civil uprising ". More people follow rounds in April and May in Munich south, north and west

The bottom line is handled Munich's massive growth problems, according to experts is not bad. Parallel societies have not developed here. The "Munich mix" works. They called to get the professors as one of the major challenges. Marginalization of minority groups should be avoided, it was said with a warning look around on London. A second challenge, the experts in it, just people in care and service occupations in the city to secure affordable housing. If they were displaced, would jeopardize the essential services in the community.

A third challenge saw the rounds in the integration of migrants, with many children and high social costs. The key factor for this integration is the formation. In a crowd round a number of other issues would be heard. At the same time the city had activated its website for updating the perspective of Munich. On the first day, told Wish pleased with, would have clicked on this site 6000 citizens. The Urban Planning Councillor referred to four follow-up events, which will be questions and suggestions of citizens at the center:

On 23 April from 18.30 bis 21.00 clock in the Anton-Fingerle-education center, Schliersee Road 47,

on 26 April from 18.30 bis 21.00 clock in the House of Culture Milbertshofen, Curt Mezger-Platz 1,

and 7 May from 18.30 bis 21.00 clock in the middle school on the road Guardini Guardini 60th Street
