Sustainable development of commercial areas
The Lörrach discussion about commercial areas fits into a larger context. The Federal Institute for Building, Urban and Spatial Research (BBSR) has... Publication on the sustainable development of commercial areas summarizes the methodology and findings from various urban development model projects that were carried out between 2016 and 2019. These projects aimed to link urban development improvements with sustainable development and provide valuable practical experience that could also be relevant in Lörrach.
