Environmental aspects in spatial planning in Stuttgart
Scripts by the Office for Environmental Protection - No. 1/2009Introduction
Urban land-use planning is a municipality's main duty. In fact, municipalities have a significant scope for sorting out details. The legally binding land-use plan established by a municipality on the basis of a preparatory land-use plan is a binding means to decide whether land is used in an environment-friendly way and in accordance with environmental protection targets. German planning legislation in its complexity with numerous spatial planning levels helps to ensure the precautionary planning of environmental protection measures through the methods of regional and urban development and minimize all kinds of pollution resulting from the use of areas.
In this context, environmental planning has become an indispensable part of city planning during the last years. The Office for Environmental Protection provides experts for environmental studies, environmental assessments and environmental consulting, who
- assemble and provide environmental information,
- provide consultation in the field of spatial planning as early as in the blueprint stage,
- have important ideas for environment-friendly planning proceedings and
- monitor the planning process and, if necessary, impose environmental interests through obligations
and indications.
This shows that Stuttgart is well positioned for the implementation of the Strategic Environmental Impact
Assessment in order to improve environmental protection pursuant to the European Law Adaptation Act for
the Construction.
