In the urban development department, we develop urban planning framework concepts and designs as a basis for the transformation of existing settlements and the development of new building areas.

Development plans are drawn up to control structural development. Urban development contracts supplement the legally binding provisions of the development plans and regulate important issues relating to the implementation and financing of urban development projects.

The Urban Development department is also home to the Concept Procedure Office and the Design and Monument Advisory Board. Together with colleagues from the Urban Development and Special Urban Development Projects departments, the project series "Experimental spaces for sustainable urban development" is being worked on.
