This week, much of the focus is on climate change. The drought in the forests is currently another harbinger of profound changes. These changes in nature are also affecting urban development. So while there is the classic real estate news as in Focus. Focus Online this week answers the most important questions about the property tax reform, the so-called “Scholz Plan”. But many are shifting their topics this week to sustainable concepts, from high-rise buildings made of wood to the CO2 tax. All real estate news can be found right here: Immo News.
Climate change, modernisation and urban development
As we reported a few weeks ago, cities are in a state of flux. No matter if it is about the densification of living space, for example by putting new floors on top of supermarkets or even completely new city ordinances, like in Taipei. Green cities are the future, more housing on less land. To make it happen, there are more and more ideas, like this week presented in Focus Online, Environment Minister Svenja Schulze wants stricter regulations: One million households threatened with expensive conversion of chimneys and flues. Also in the manager magazine the will for change shows up, e.g. by skyscrapers from wood. The view of the green change does not only have positive aspects. If you look at your own wallet, you will agree with the Handelsblatt that this week debates the increase in costs due to the CO2 tax.
Change is everywhere. Even animals and plants are changing their habitats. As you can read in the article Europe’s extraordinary gardens, tropical fruits now grow in Europe, where as grapefruits in London and magnolias with a view of the Alps.
CO2 tax – Do we really need it?
Professor Dr. Harald Lesch takes a deeper look at the debate about the CO2 tax. The video says: “Fridays for Future is calling for a CO2 tax of 180 euros per tonne of CO2. No problem, you might think, what normal person produces a ton of CO2? In fact, we do, directly and indirectly, almost monthly: 10 tons of CO2 per year per German citizen.” – Learn more interesting facts in the video:
