Project's Summary
Revitalizing Neuperlach: A Comprehensive Approach to Urban Development
Neuperlach, the largest post-WW2 urban development in Germany, has been known for its social and infrastructural challenges over the years. However, a massive transformation is underway in the district, and it is one of the largest ongoing developments in Germany. The project, spearheaded by the ADEPT architectural studio, includes planning at all scales, from the overall strategic masterplan to the detailed renovation of a large part of the residential complexes.
What is unique about this project is the comprehensive approach to the development process. The project aims to anchor the development in all aspects, from the large regional scale to the facilitation of citizen involvement and recommendations for future physical development of the area. The transformation of the enormous district on the edge of Munich City includes a target area of 500 ha that kick-starts the process with a specific preliminary investigation.
Neuperlach's building volume and modernistic urban layout are both characteristic of the area, endowing great development potential, not least because of its open spaces, a scarce commodity in Munich. The urban layout makes re-thinking of cultural and social infrastructure, future mobility, green structure as urban active, resources, and climate adaptation ideal. The transformation of the district involves the detailed renovation of a large part of the residential complexes, which will address the social and infrastructural challenges that have plagued the area for years.
The ADEPT architectural studio is committed to involving citizens in the development process by creating a firmly anchored process for their participation in the area. It is not just about the physical transformation of the district, but also about creating a community that is engaged in the development process. The comprehensive approach to the transformation of Neuperlach is a model for urban development that prioritizes the involvement of citizens in the development process, and it is a project worth watching.
In conclusion, the transformation of Neuperlach is not just about physical development, but also about creating a community that is engaged in the development process. The comprehensive approach to the transformation of the district is a model for urban development that prioritizes the involvement of citizens in the development process. The ADEPT architectural studio is committed to creating a community that is engaged in the development process and is a project worth watching.
