Overview of Project Goal s • The project's structure integrates legal, political, social and economical actors from grassroot-level up to the city administration • Energy • Traffic/public transport • Building • Water • Participation, social interaction, public spaces

30 Jan 2023

Energy • Estimated to be one of the largest solar districts in Europe • Compulsory improved low energy standard • Passive houses: 42 units were built to passive house standard (15 kWh/m2a) in the first development section • Plus energy houses: 10 units - (houses which - in the average - produce more energy than they need) • District heating grid and co-generation plant (CHP) : January 2001 implemented 2002 30 Jan 2023

Traffic/ Publ ic Transport • Reducing the use of cars in the entire district to everybody's benefit • Vauban is one of the biggest projects of “Parking-free" and “Car-free" living • No parking at the doorstep • Car owners have to accept walking a short distance to reach their cars.

• A school, kindergartens, a farmer's market, businesses, a shopping center, a food coop, recreation areas, and approximately 600 jobs will all be within walking and cycling distance.

A tram-line and a suburban train line are planned until 2006.

• Car Sharing

Buil ding • Joint building processes such as Baugruppen and cooperative building

• A building that has been made in a way that does not harm the environment

• Building takes place on a larger scale without the engagement of private investors (cost savings up to 25%)

• Using ecological materials such as wood, clay, and other locally produced energyextensive building material

• Ecological building corresponding to the current needs of builders and Baugruppen 30 Jan 2023

• The low-energy standard and the "parking-free" area • Greening of roofs, the conservation and planting of trees, rainwater infiltration

Wat er 30 Jan 2023

Infiltration of rainwater into the ground New ecological sewage system within one pilot project (Model house of the Baugruppe "Wohnen und Arbeiten"): Through vacuum pipes feces are transported into a biogas plant. There they ferment anaerobically together with organic household waste, thus generating biogas, which is used for cooking. Remaining waste water (grey-water) is cleaned in biofilm plants and returned to the water cycle.

Part icipat ion, social int eract ion, publ ic spaces  P - agency set new standards of communication, interaction and integration  S I - the co-operative food store, the farmer's market initiative, the mother's center, and many others  P S - access-galleries, community gardens and rooms, public green spaces, the resident's streets and the neighborhood center 30 Jan 2023

 By Baugruppen (groups of building owners) and the Genova co-operative

Measurabl e Impact s

Öko-Institut (institute for applied ecology) is examining the projects as part of the research project "Sustainable districts in urban conversion areas"

•Energy savings per year: 28 GJ •Reduction of CO2equivalents per year: 2100 t.

•Reduction of Sulphurdioxide (SO2-) equivalents per year: 4 t.

•Saving of mineral resources per year: 1600 t.

30 Jan 2023
