10 1. Globalisation Export-oriented industry Insufficient mix of industry Competition Know-how and investment Overall quality as location for business and living. (Hard- and soft skills)

11 2. Demographic change - age pattern Fewer but older Altersstruktur in der Region Stuttgart am Alter...

12 3. Climate change going south

13 3. Climate change within Stuttgart Region: What to expect? Vulnerable topography: bassin Densely populated areas / manufacturing plants, along rivers at risk Heat island effect: Reduced quality of life How to attract well-educated workforce Insufficient regional water supply Changes in agriculture, erosion and dry-out Long term adaptation of land use necessary open space, air flow

14 Strategic Approach for River corridors Cross-sectional / horizontal vertical integration Subsidiarity / according to possibilities Adequate functionality and quality Infrastructure, Open space Safety: Flood protection; micro-climate Provide added value for the region > Image > Third-party funds Long term political agenda

15 Crucial factors 1. Infrastructure 2. Green Infrastructure Quality, accessibility of open space

16 Mandatory Regional plan Transport-oriented planning Residential development concentrated along railway corridors Quelle: Regionalplanentwurf, Stand:

17 Extention of the Regional railway network

18 Regional + long-distance trains in river valleys Capacity of tracks? Noise pollution?

19 TEN Paris Bratislava high-speed railway in narrow, densely populated river valley?

20 Stuttgart 21 Fast track to Austria Heilbronn Ludwigsburg Schwäbisch Gmünd Pforzheim Stuttgart Esslingen Göppingen Sindelfingen Airport / Trade fair Daimler Böblingen Reutlingen Tübingen

21 Regional Plan Mandatory protection of open spaces Large / small scale protection of open spaces No development few exceptions

22 Masterplans: Developing good ideas together Development strategy; measures, projects part of an integrated region wide - concept custom-made for natural landscape units according to characteristics, capability (for all major river valleys) Grass-roots procedure, local stakeholders

23 Co-Funding: Make plans come true Anual budget about 1.5 Mio. Up to 50% subsidy Competiton no quota Since 2006: 73 projects / 5.5 Mio Focus on valleys

24 Funding: Garden Festival 16 Municipalities in 2019 Concentration of State funding for Infrastructure Urban renewal Sustainable Mobility Bio-corridor Infrastructure for Recreation / Canoeing > long-term improvement
