Munich sets new standards: Green district cherry gardens is growing!

in Allach, a district of Munich, is the future of living in an innovative, sustainable light. On July 11, 2025, the foundation stone was laid for the "cherry gardens". Wolfgang Bogner, who took part in the celebration, reported that four out of twelve warehouses have already been cleared and an impressive excavation pit has been visible. For the implementation of this project, around 1,500 apartments are planned in a modern wood hybrid construction that will offer the new home for around 3000 people by 2030. A gratifying detail is that 40 percent of these apartments should be promoted, which facilitates access to affordable living space for many Munich.

This visionary neighborhood will not only create living space, but also promote a modern living environment. The planning provides for an almost car -free quarter that is climate -neutral and green. Up to 400 new trees should be planned, and the roofs are also created as green areas that offer additional 10,000 square meters of greened space. In addition to the apartments, the infrastructure will include cafés, shops and community roof terraces. The planned mobility stations with car sharing offers, a bus stop and cycle paths, which turn old logistics areas into a living, sustainable quarters are also important.

a flagship project for urban development

Mayor Dieter Reiter describes the "cherry gardens" as a "showcase project for Bavaria" that not only addresses the needs of the current residents, but is also planned in a future -oriented manner. The project is realized in several construction phases, starting with 226 apartments in the southeast, which are to be obtained by early 2027. The majority of social housing are built here, which are awarded by the Munich housing office. Further parts of the project follow with seven to nine houses in the middle and three-storey buildings in the southwest.

The planners rely on the recycling of materials from broken buildings when building, to minimize ecological footprint. A sophisticated traffic concept is sought to reduce car traffic, while at the same time the quality of life is to increase due to a variety of green areas and intelligent infrastructure offers. This corresponds to the aim of promoting sustainable urban development in Munich, a topic that has become increasingly important in recent years, as bpb.de.

The way to a sustainable habitat

The climatic challenges that Munich and other cities are now busy can be addressed through sustainable approaches in urban development. This initiative not only pursues ecological, but also social sustainability. By 2050, 70% of the world's population will be living in cities, which illustrates the need for innovative concepts such as the "cherry gardens". The need for affordable living space, good infrastructure and natural habitats will continue to increase in the coming years.

With this project, an Apell is given to all actors in urban development: a balance between the needs of current inhabitants and the requirements of future generations is necessary. The "cherry gardens" could serve as a positive example, as well thought -out, sustainable planning not only improves the quality of life, but also contributes to the preservation of the environment. The plans stated that the first apartments are to take place in 2027, which gives hope for a positive turn in the living space situation in Munich.
