Urban development of Leipzig

Leipzig is a dynamic, forward-looking city that seizes opportunities and actively seeks out new challenges - partly in order to sharpen its profile in competition with other places.

Ever since German reunification more than 15 years ago, Leipzig has risen to the challenges and opportunities arising within the process of transformation. The city's activities have always been subordinated to the awareness that all measures geared towards it's future development need to be integrated into a far-reaching strategy, enabling today's decisions to be measured against the long-term results.

Planwerk Stadtraum
Planwerk Stadtraum

In 2006, the Planwerk (planning work for urban development) was passed as the basis of planning by unanimous decision of the city council.
Aim and objective of the Planwerk Stadtraum (Master Plan for the urban space) is to depict the spatial structure of the city with its settlement areas and open spaces.

Further it draws, against the background of the coexistence of expansion and diminution, a picture of an imaginable urban structure for the period until 2015 and beyond.
