Ecological model settlement in Prinz-Eugen-Park

During the development of Prinz-Eugen-Park, attention was paid not only to ecological sustainability but also to social sustainability, i.e., among other things, affordable housing and coexistence in the neighborhood: the municipal plots were awarded by means of concept tenders without price competition. The decision was made on the basis of a criteria catalog with specifications for mobility concepts, community-promoting measures, and energy and ecological standards. The buildings in the model estate were constructed exclusively by municipal companies, cooperatives and joint building ventures. The Munich Mix system, which provides a wide range of housing for different income levels, has also been applied here. Community-promoting measures in the residential quarter include the integration of two kindergartens, a neighborhood center, a covered marketplace and an ice cream parlor. There is also plenty of space for community-oriented uses, such as workshops, co-working spaces, community rooms, shared rooftop gardens, and urban gardening areas.
