Land Management

While many German cities are growing and discussions about affordable housing are becoming more and more important, peripheral rural areas are confronted with vacancies, the desertification of the town centers and a decline in real estate value. At the same time, space for settlement and transport continues to be claimed – a gap that would continue to widen if intelligent land management was not practised. Land management helps to steer structural change – both growth and shrinkage – in the right direction: Here our graduates work together with urban and landscape planners, civil engineers, property managers, owners and citizens.

This also applies to the village development of rural communities. With their knowledge of planning and land readjustment, our graduates make a contribution to the future of rural areas. Not only in cities and conurbations do graduates of land management create transparency in the real estate market by expertly determining real estate values (according to DGK 2008).

Our teaching is therefore focused on the holistic development of projects: In addition to legal principles and the system of spatial planning, students are trained in land management in land readjustment and real estate development. This enables them to apply and adapt the instruments of land management to the respective challenges. In order to meet the requirements of modern administration for consensual solutions, our students are also experienced in modern research and communication methods.
