Sendling II, finding and exploring vacant properties and their potential
What vacant properties are there in Munich? What plans exist? Where are the opportunities and potentials in Munich’s urban space that are waiting to be activated? In the city of Munich, too, numerous buildings are vacant and areas remain unused. Demolition and new construction are the predominant strategies of the property industry. Conversion and neighbourhood-oriented activation are sustainable alternatives. We want to explore ways and possibilities for public welfare-orientated alternatives to demolition together. All Munich residents are invited to take part in various walks to prominent demolition candidates or long-term vacant properties to reorient their view of the city and contribute to the public discourse on the handling and possible conversion, maintenance and preservation of Munich’s building culture.
Focus Sendling
How does vacancy affect the neighbourhood? Building on the first walk and the insights we have gained, we are looking for and recording further vacant properties. We use documents, photos, newspaper articles and much more for this. We want to find out what is behind the vacancies and how these empty spaces can be utilised for Sendling.
The walks can be attended individually, so participation in the first walk is not a prerequisite.
The mapping walks are organised in cooperation with the Hans Sauer Foundation as part of a planned citizen science project. The results of the walks will contribute to the content and methodological concept of the project. The project focusses on the topic of vacancy detection and the activation of vacancies for the common good.
