Metropolitan areas and their residential sites in Baden-Württemberg – Challenges for housing markets in growing regions Between 2005 and the years of the Corona pandemic, a reurbanization trend emerged in the major and medium-sized centers of Baden-Württemberg’s growth regions, which led to an increase in demand for urban residential locations, in some cases significantly. The core cities in particular are less and less able to meet the resulting growth spurts in terms of housing and building land policy. Based on empirical findings on housing market development in Baden-Württemberg and the Stuttgart region, this volume shows which strategies and options for action exist for solving problems at the municipal level. Using the example of the Stuttgart metropolitan area and the medium-sized center of Göppingen, it is shown that the cities are increasingly unable to counter the problems on the housing markets despite exhausting the legally possible control framework. The contributions discuss the role of regional planning in connection with the development of new areas for housing construction and outline ideas for solving the housing market problems on a regional as well as inter-municipal level.weiterlesen
