Online event "400,000 flats - is there enough building land?"

On 29 March, the Federal Ministry of Housing, Urban Development and Building (BMWSB) and the Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs and Spatial Development (BBSR) invite interested parties to an event on the subject of building land and infill development potential in Germany. The Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development (IOER) will present the results of a survey of cities and municipalities that it conducted in cooperation with the German Economic Institute (IW).

The federal government has set itself the goal of enabling the construction of 400,000 housing units per year. Already today there are bottlenecks in building land availability. But is that really the case? Or is there enough building land for housing construction? These questions will be explored at the online event "400,000 flats - Is there enough building land?", to which the BMWSB and the BBSR invite you on 29 March 2022 from 11.30 a.m. to 3.45 p.m.

Klara Geywitz, Federal Minister for Housing, Urban Development and Building, has announced her participation in the event. The event will focus on the results of an extensive survey on the status and methods of building land registration and mobilisation.

The Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development (IOER), in cooperation with the German Economic Institute (IW), conducted a nationwide survey in cities and municipalities. The survey collected current data and information on building land reserves and infill development potential as well as on the status and methods of building land registration and mobilisation in German cities and municipalities. The survey was supplemented by in-depth case study investigations. The researchers will present their results at the online event on 29 March.

The registration is closed.

The event will be held in German.

Further information and access data will be sent to interested parties in good time before the event.
