Property developers and project developers will have to rethink and change their focus in the future. This is what Prof. Dr. Hanspeter Gondring, managing partner and scientific director of ADI Akademie der Immobilienwirtschaft GmbH, demands in his current white paper "Urban development 1950 to 2050 - from property development to holistic project development". His idea: a so-called holistic approach, in which buildings are developed out of space or out of location.
The background to his thoughts is that the requirements of future generations will change with regard to urban development. While values such as property and ownership were still important to the baby boomers who will soon be retiring, other values will be important to future generations, he says. These include, for example, sustainability thinking, a better work-life balance, and better animal welfare.
According to the author, this also means that "cities must become places of deceleration, of natural surroundings with a healthy microclimate, of a balanced relationship between work-life-leisure with a high social capital factor and 'decommercialized' public spaces. If buildings evolved from their surroundings, ecological, socio-cultural and economic dimensions would be combined in the building, and higher returns could also be expected due to greater acceptance.
