New attitude to life: residential area with social housing in Tolkewitz!
Something exciting is happening in the Dresden district of Tolkewitz: a new residential area is to be built along Kipsdorfer and Weesensteiner Strasse. The former areas of the Elsner pac gardening center and the Schrön gardening center are being converted into a modern living concept. On June 19th, the city council will approve the development plan, which is already in the planning stage and promises numerous apartments. Around 270 residential units are to be built here in eleven apartment buildings - and that will be no small matter, because at least 22 percent of the apartments are to be designed as social housing. Loud saechsische.de The planned three- and four-story residential buildings also offer green attics.
What kind of area is this exactly? The entire project covers a site of 1.2 hectares. The popular Tolkewitz school campus, which opened in 2018, has already proven its positive impact on the surrounding area. The new building will also create open spaces that can serve as a district park and for social purposes such as a youth center.

The focus here is on well-thought-out architecture with modern apartment buildings and green communal areas radiodresden.de reported.
Sustainable urban development in focus
But the focus is not only on the apartments themselves, but also on the broad topic of sustainability. In times of climate change and resource scarcity, many cities are required to develop innovative and environmentally friendly concepts. It is particularly important to integrate natural elements into urban planning so that, for example, floods can be avoided through water-sensitive planning. Planned measures, such as the use of permeable material for paths and the creation of many green spaces and street trees, are intended to help improve the urban climate. These aspects and many more are also in keeping with the spirit of sustainable urban development, which various architects and planners are committed to garten-landschaft.de can be read.
An outstanding feature of this new project in Tolkewitz is that Kipsdorfer Straße, which is currently being used as a diversion route, will be converted into a bicycle route by 2026. These measures support the goal of making the space safer and more inviting for pedestrians and cyclists. With these comprehensive plans, the city is building on a modern and livable neighborhood that takes into account the needs of all future residents.
Construction will take place in several phases and the exact start date will be announced after approval by the city council. An exciting time lies ahead for the district, in which the new and the existing will merge harmoniously.
