Municipal land and property policy, results of the 2022 municipal survey

Building land is scarce – especially in university towns and in the growth regions in North Rhine-Westphalia. The identification of new built-up areas for residential development competes – depending on Region – with the legitimate demands of agriculture and the protection of open spaces in the sense of a sustainable land policy. One approach to creating more affordable housing is the use of the Quotation instrument for publicly funded housing construction at the municipal level. The question "Which cities in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia are working with the instrument of quoting for publicly funded housing construction or where is the use of the instrument in planning?" was the subject of a nationwide non-scientific survey: In the period from 23 February 2022 to 29 April 2022, the Ministry of Home Affairs: Municipal, construction and digitalisation of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia (department for housing promotion) and the state-owned development bank, NRW.BANK, surveyed all 53 granting authorities for public housing promotion with regard to the use and design of municipal quotas for publicly funded housing construction in North Rhine-Westphalia. All granting authorities have Participated in the survey. This results in 396 municipalities. All results can be found under FORM 18/1172 https://www.landtag.nrw.de/portal/WWW/dokumentenarchiv/Dokument/MMV18-1172.pdf
