Trudering-Riem before the boom: 32,500 new residents by 2045!

Over the next two decades, the Trudering-Riem district will see a significant increase in population. Loud tz.de An increase of around 32,500 people is forecast, which corresponds to an increase of over 42 percent. This makes Trudering-Riem the second growth magnet in Munich, behind Aubing-Lochhausen-Langwied. The population is expected to grow to more than 108,000 by 2045, after the district has continuously increased in popularity over the last 35 years. In 1989 there were around 38,000 citizens; by 2024 the number is expected to rise to 76,000.

The reasons for this increase are diverse. Planned large settlement areas such as the fifth construction phase of the trade fair city, Heltauer Straße and Rappenweg are expected to attract around 15,000 new citizens. The settlements are noisy gruene-bergamlaim-trudering-riem.de however, not sufficient to fully cover the forecast increase of 32,500 inhabitants; it remains a delta of 17,500 inhabitants. There were also concerns from Herbert Danner (Greens), who doubts that there is enough unused space available, especially on the largely populated former airport site in Riem.

Densification and infrastructure in focus

A central concern of the district committee is the question of the specific building location for these many new residents. In particular, the development of green spaces and climate-relevant axes is under discussion, with Magdalena Miehle (CSU) seeing compaction as a possible option. Applications for around 60 new apartments were already submitted at the last meeting. Nevertheless, the focus of the framework planning on Wasserburger Landstrasse is currently more focused on commercial areas rather than residential construction. The past shows that the city district has repeatedly been able to provide large areas for urban development over the last three decades, which led to an increase in the number of residents, especially during the turnaround from 1999 onwards.

Another aspect is the infrastructure measures that are necessary to guarantee the new district residents an appropriate standard of living. Questions about improving local public transport and new expansion projects are at the top of the agenda. The City of Munich has already indicated that structural changes are necessary to ensure mobility in growing urban areas.

Overall, the city district must prepare for the fact that the challenges of growth bring with them both opportunities and risks. Demographic change could represent a fruitful opportunity for Trudering-Riem, but the planning must focus on the needs of all residents. This is the only way to ensure sustainable growth.
