“We are missing in Kassel 2030 approximately 8000 Apartments. (…) The creation of affordable housing will take place under the current market conditions (Note from the organizers: and in the climate- and energy policy objectives) a big challenge. The question arises, whether the housing shortage could not be alleviated, if the already existing ones 107.600 Apartments in Kassel are different to the good 200.000 residents would be distributed (…)“Quote from the HNA v. 23.09.2023
In this tension of a lack of living space, In view of the climate crisis and dwindling resources, we would like to discuss current concepts for creating affordable housing in Kassel with experts.
The housing supply concept of the city of Kassel from August 2022 identified the need for action and identified options for action. The “Alliance for Affordable Housing” is mentioned several times as an instrument.. We want to keep this in mind and ask questions, like the citizens of Kassel, municipal institution, The housing industry and architects can work together to promote development.
To broaden your perspective, Let's talk to experts from Bremen and Göttingen, where innovative living space concepts are tested. We are interested in whether there are options, to transfer such concepts to the housing needs in Kassel. This is about:
Interior development and use of vacant space (Development of living space in existing neighborhoods; Development of living space on land, that have not yet been used or have hardly been used for housing)
Apartment exchange, Organizational structures for this and support when changing living space
The city's land policy and land conservation oriented towards the common good
