Innovative Finanzierungsinstrumente in der Stadtentwicklung und Wohnungspolitik

Connective Cities Dialogveranstaltung in Leipzig, Deutschland

Übersicht

Vom 24. bis 26. November 2014 fand die dritte Connective Cities Dialogveranstaltung statt, um sich über innovative Finanzierungsinstrumente in der Stadtentwicklung und Wohnungspolitik auszutauschen.

Revolvierende Fonds, Mikrokredite und andere innovative Finanzierungsinstrumente sind sowohl in der Stadtentwicklung als auch in der Wohnungspolitik relevant. Sie sind von größter Bedeutung, wenn keine ausreichende herkömmliche Finanzierung zur Verfügung steht, wo Selbsthilfeansätze gestärkt werden sollen und wo unrentable Immobilien wieder auf den Markt gebracht werden sollen. Lokale Akteure aus Entwicklungs- und Schwellenländern wurden gebeten, mit ihren umfangreichen Erfahrungen in Bezug auf Instrumente wie Mikrokredite, kleine Wohnungsbauförderung und weitere innovative Finanzierungsinstrumente zum Dialog beizutragen.

Ziel der Veranstaltung des Dialogs war es, allen Teilnehmenden einen guten Einblick in bewährte Praktiken in diesem Bereich zu ermöglichen und sie gleichzeitig einzuladen, mit ihren Erfahrungen zum Dialog beizutragen. Anhand von Beispielen, die die Praktikerinnen und Praktiker während des Workshops vorgestellt haben, diskutierten die Expertinnen und Experten Herausforderungen und Bedürfnisse für die Verbesserung der Praxis der Stadtfinanzierung und der Verwaltung.

Ergebnisse

Innovative financing instruments have to overcome a number of governance and structural boundaries. Both grass-root community projects as well as public institutions in e.g. revolving funds are subjected to external conditions that require reducing transactions costs in terms of (i) educating on the financial innovation theme at stake and (ii) developing projects subjected to external success criteria and structural requirements.

The following themes have been identified as important follow-up themes:

Implementation of revolving funds: How to implement local revolving funds using different kinds of financial resources (local budgets, international donors and others)? What new legislative structures are needed?

Capacity building: Development of expertise in matters of investment management, development of integral approaches for urban practitioners

Information management and user orientation: Development of methods and tools that involve local users and provide insights required for decision analysis

The workshop concluded that innovative financing instruments are subjected to a variety of success factors that only can be addressed by stakeholders that are acting as cross-sector intermediaries: They have to interface between new format of participation through financial instruments as well as provide moderation in community-centred dialogues.

Field trip

Participants had the opportunity to visit the (apartment-house syndicate) project Kunterbunte 19, a co-housing project financed within the Miethäuser Syndikat system. On a larger scale the urban development in Leipzig West and the different Leipzig different participatory housing projects were presented and discussed during the field trips.
