Demolition in Wildeshausen: Two houses make way for new living space!
In Wildeshausen, the demolition of two older buildings has begun to make space for a new residential project. More precisely, these are buildings numbers 10 and 12 on Zwischenbrückenstrasse. The construction site is currently causing half of the road to be closed, so drivers can expect some disruption. But the positive aspects outweigh the negatives, because a modern building with eleven residential units is to be built at this location, where the City Hall once stood. An outbuilding for bicycles and storage rooms will also be built, which will further enhance the project. The idea that the new building looks like two separate buildings was well received in Wildeshausen politics and met with widespread approval, as [nwzonline.de](https://www.nwzonline.de/oldenburg-kreis/abriss-in-zwischenbruecken-in-wildeshausen-zwei-haeuser- Werden-beseitet_a_4,2,1351298675.html) reported.
But it's not just demolition and new construction that are the focus of urban development. At a recent meeting of the urban development committee, the clear need for housing was pointed out. Although the birth rate in Wildeshausen is lower than the death rate, the influx is causing increasing demand for living space. According to Uwe Höger from the akp_Stadtplanung office, a need for around 516 apartments is expected by 2025, 50 percent of which should be rental apartments. Small and inexpensive apartments with an area of 50 to 60 square meters are particularly in demand, reports kreiszeitung.de.
Challenges and ideas for urban development
Although the initiative to create new living space was welcomed, there were also critical voices. Mayor Jens Kuraschinski expressed concerns about the infrastructure necessary for a growing population. Rainer Kolloge from the UWG questioned whether the creation of a further 500 apartments was really necessary. Meanwhile, Marcell Görke from the CDU called for a thorough assessment of the burden on kindergartens and schools. In particular, the proposals from Kreszentia Flauger (Left), who criticized financial selection in housing construction, received the approval of the committee, which asked to identify solutions to the existing shortages. The housing supply concept was ultimately acknowledged and the discussion about the need for housing in Wildeshausen will continue.
National urban development policy is becoming increasingly important in this context. This initiative brings together various actors to keep cities and communities livable. It creates platforms for the exchange of trends and solutions in the area of urban development, as can also be found on the website of the Federal Ministry of Housing, Urban Development and Construction (bmwsb.de).
In Wildeshausen there is a lot of work being done on the future of the city, and it remains exciting to see how these developments will affect the living environment and the infrastructure. The demolition of Zwischenbrückenstrasse is just the first step in a new era of urban development.
