05 breaking the monotony redevelopment erdinger moos Bachelor Thesis TU Munich I Summer Semester 2014 Supervisor: Prof. Sören Schöbel Regional planning Location: Erdinger Moos near Munich, Germany The metropolitan area of Munich is facing a massive population growth. Despite still being poorly served, a fast and faceless suburbanisation - with industrial zones and dull settlement areas - is about to start taking place in the area between the city and its airport. There, in the past century, the marshland of the „Erdinger Moos“ was drained and transformed into an intensive agricultural production area resulting in erosion and a monotonous, unappealing scenery. Still, the Erdinger Moos holds great potential in its rurality, its architectural heritage, the ecological importance of the remaining marshlands, and its many hidden gems like small waterways and lakes. The aim of this thesis is to revalue the Erdinger Moos, recovering the area‘s special identity and purpose and elaborating methods to manage the current developments.
