Kathrin Feldmann is also expected from the city account.

The focus on affordable living space

Potsdam has already taken decisive steps in this area: a framework agreement was recently signed on the promotion of more than 800 apartments. For this purpose, the Ministry of Infrastructure and State Planning as well as three housing associations have closed an important deal. A total of 845 social housing is to be built in the Krampnitz mountain district from 2027 to 2033, which is part of a comprehensive plan to create a socially mixed living space in the city, such as Potsdam.de reported.

Find solutions together

The discussion about affordable living space is flanked by further political measures. The alliance for affordable living space has formulated goals that aim to promote housing and reduce bureaucratic hurdles. New funding programs, such as low -interest loans for families, also play a role here. The availability and affordability of apartments should therefore be significantly improved in the next few years, which could potentially also be a role model in Cologne.

For all interested parties, there is the opportunity to register by email to registration@genossenschaftstag-potsdam.de by July 14th. Participation takes place at your own responsibility, and the option of participating in individual stations or only in the final event is given. In bad weather, a shortened indoor variant is offered in the community center on the Schlaatz.

The meal together on the buffet from 6 p.m. should then round off the day and offer the opportunity to get into a personal conversation. Here it becomes clear that the future of living in Potsdam and the cooperative structures are not just a topic for politics, but also affect us!
