No other industry consumes as many resources as the construction industry. It has long been an ecological necessity not to simply demolish old buildings – but to renovate them creatively.

This has long been an ecological necessity, because no other industry consumes as many resources as the construction industry. The message has also arrived in Munich. City planning officer Elisabeth Merk is already talking about a “construction turnaround” in planning policy.
