Flächenkonstanz Saar - zero-growth of developed land
Saarlands existing demographic perspectives (significant decrease in population), its location near France and the socio-geographic setting are key for both goals: handling the natural resource "open space" and providing a working infrastructure in the future.
Goal of the R+D-project was to take the chance of the Saarland to be the first German state to achieve a zero-growth in built-up land.
Saarland is a small state allowing for a direct access to the key stakeholders. The zero-growth of developed land will be achieved by preferred brownfield development, responsive decisions on new developments on greenfield land and promotion of recovering brownfield-sites back for their natural open-space functions.
The project was led by the State Development Company, LEG Saar who is backed by the State Ministry for the Economy (MfWA) and the Ministry for the Environment (MfU). Partners were practitioners of land-management and land redevelopment (Altenbockum and PROBIOTEC), Aachen University of Applied Sciences, and Aachen Technical University, RWTH.
The project duration was 2 years.
