City seeks land in Heckinghausen area for expansion
Wuppertal's Inner Development Concept Takes Shape in Heckinghausen
Wuppertal, Germany, is moving forward with its inner development concept, focusing on revitalising and sustainably developing urban areas. The city has now initiated the building plot activation project in the Heckinghausen area, aiming to create new residential opportunities while maintaining a focus on sustainable urban development principles.
The project involves identifying and utilising available land within the existing urban fabric. Property owners in Heckinghausen are being asked to fill out a questionnaire regarding potential development, and the city is offering consultation meetings to help guide the process. Staff from the Urban Development department are available as contact persons for these meetings.
A non-public building plot register has been created specifically for the Heckinghausen area, and all buildable residential plots have been identified. The city's strategy aligns with the priority set out in the Building Code for inner development, aiming to direct residential building demand into already developed settlement areas.
Interestingly, this strategy is not limited to Heckinghausen. Following a successful project in Ronsdorf in 2021, the city has also contacted property owners in other districts, including Uellendahl-Katernberg, Vohwinkel, Cronenberg, and Elberfeld-West.
For those property owners in Heckinghausen who were not contacted but are still interested in consultation, the online questionnaire is available at wuppertal.de/Bauluecken. The city encourages all interested parties to participate in this important process, helping shape the future of Heckinghausen in a sustainable and community-friendly manner.
For more precise zoning plans or details for Heckinghausen residential plots, those would typically come from local municipal planning documents or Wuppertal's urban development office. The city looks forward to continuing its work in Heckinghausen and other areas, building a better future for its residents.
Property owners in Heckinghausen can consider investing in the city's building plot activation project, which focuses on real-estate development and aligns with the urban development principles of sustainability. Finance options for property development may be discussed during consultation meetings with staff from Wuppertal's Urban Development department.
