Bau-Turbo Starts: Vice Chancellor Klingbeil fights against a lack of living space!

Sonneberg, Deutschland - The federal government has set itself an ambitious goal. Vice Chancellor and Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil expects a new law to accelerate housing will soon have positive effects on the living space situation. On Wednesday, the law is to be approved in the Federal Cabinet and thus serve as a starting signal for a faster and more comprehensive building initiative in order to counteract the lack of affordable living space. This reported [Insuedthueringen.de] (https://www.insuedthueringen.de/inhalt.bundes government-vizekanzler-mi-neuem-- and-schneller-bauen.

living is not only a basic need, but also one of the great social issues of our time, says Klingbeil. The previous government had not reached the ambitious target of 400,000 new apartments per year, while only over 215,000 building permits were issued last year. This has led to great uncertainty in many places, since high construction costs, increased interest rates and a lack of skilled workers further tighten the situation.

The construction turbo and its advantages

The legislative package initiated by Minister of Construction Verena Hubertz provides for a number of relief to accelerate the construction. A central innovation is the introduction of the so-called "construction turbo". As a result, municipalities can tighten approval processes and even deviate from existing development plans. The goal is clear: building faster, densifying and increasing to use existing living space more efficiently without renting rental apartments. This ensures that the tenants can continue to enjoy protection.

In addition to the regulations for housing construction, the Building Code (BauGB) is also modernized, which should result in a comprehensive strengthening of urban development in Germany. The draft law aims to accelerate administrative, planning and approval procedures and has already been decided in the Federal Cabinet, such as bmwsb.bund.de communicated.

social living space situation in view

Social housing has played an important role in the past and will continue to be promoted by the state. The living space promotion law (WOFG) regulates the provision of living space at the costs for needy households. This grant is carried out by subsidies, which, among other things, ensure that rents are reduced below the cost rent. Social housing remains a central instrument to effectively counteract the lack of living space. Until the 1990s he was an important tool of state economic policy, as can be read in pollux-fid.de. In summary, it can be seen that the new laws and initiatives of the federal government aim at a future -oriented, faster and more efficient construction methods in order to focus on the creation of living space. This is not only a step towards more affordable living space, but also a signal for the urgently needed social justice. The coming weeks will show how quickly and sustainably these initiatives can be implemented.
