Stuttgart’s Rosenstein model inspires climate-adaptive urban planning
Two Stuttgart projects have won the German Urban Development Award for their environmental, structural and social value.
City authorities headed by Lord Mayor of Stuttgart Frank Nopper noted that projects in Rosenstein district and Olga-Areal neighbourhood were recognised as exemplary urban development projects.
The Rosenstein project will develop roughly 85 hectares in Stuttgart and is the largest urban development project in the city. It won the Climate Adaptation Design award for its environmentally friendly and resilient approach.
The project includes just 0.1 parking spaces per residential unit, boasts a modern rainwater management system, green roofs and lots of green spaces, among other.
Deputy Mayor Peter Pätzold said he was happy to see Stuttgart projects recognised as exemplary and pointed out that it shows city authorities and residents can develop great projects through close cooperation.
“The Rosenstein framework plan shows that we have recognised the signs of the times and are on the right track with climate-conscious planning,” he added.
City authorities reminded that the German Urban Development Award has been awarded for more than four decades to innovative and sustainable urban development projects.
“The fact that experts throughout Germany recognize the innovative approaches in Stuttgart is an important incentive for us,” Pätzold stressed and concluded that the city wants to keep drawing up and implementing excellent projects.
