Housing shortages, high rents and long planning processes - housing is one of the most pressing issues of our time. But how is new living space created in the first place? Why does it take so long to build new flats? And what can society - from politicians to private owners - do in concrete terms to alleviate the housing problem?
At the 66th Berlin Property Talk, Erik Böttcher, Managing Director of PLAN.ART Ingenieure und Architekten GmbH, talks about the background, challenges and solutions in residential construction. PLAN.ART realises projects from urban planning analysis to turnkey handover - whether for public clients or private investors.
