More companies, more residents: the airport community wants to grow – and further improve quality of life in the process. As part of the Expo Real real estate trade fair, the municipality of Hallbergmoos will be presenting its spatial mission statement to an expert audience for the first time on October 8. The first mayor of the municipality, Harald Reents, discusses the key points of the mission statement together with Martina Baum from Studio Urbane Strategien.
Why does a comparatively small town need a mission statement? How can the character of a town be preserved as it grows – and shaped in a positive way? What makes up the DNA of a community? The town planner and the mayor will address these and other questions during the presentation. “If you set the right course for intelligent community development today, you will have more nature, a happier community and a beautiful place in the future,” explains Reents. “A vision is needed for entrepreneurs and citizens to feel comfortable in the long term. In order to develop Hallbergmoos into a home for people and business in the future, the municipality has commissioned an urban vision.”
Hallbergmoos, which was only founded in 1828, is one of the most international municipalities in Germany in terms of its size with 87 nations. Its proximity to Munich Airport and the state capital makes Hallbergmoos a sought-after location not only for companies. The population is also growing. Since 2005, Hallbergmoos has recorded population growth of 31 percent. Between 200 and 250 people move here every year. “We want to merge the Munich Airport Business Park, the sports and leisure park and the community more closely in future,” explains Reents. The town as a destination for business, life and leisure.
According to Martina Baum, one of the aims of the mission statement is to highlight elements such as nature or the course of the Goldach river in such a way that the green space becomes a central element of the community and the quality of stay is increased.
