Mehr Grün, mehr Mix – mehr Kunden! (German)

The discussion about the future of city centers revolves around "mixed use", living, and improving the quality of stay. An example of this development is the "Marktquartier" in Recklinghausen, which emerged from the former Karstadt building. The transformation of city centers requires strategic planning and investments, but can lead to a more attractive and vibrant environment. According to Jörg Krechky, the Director of Retail Investment Services Germany at real estate agent Savills, about 80 percent of shopping centers in Germany will need to be restructured and repurposed in the coming years. Savills is currently focusing on positioning medical centers, daycare centers, libraries, and educational institutions as new sources of foot traffic. The return of residential units to city centers is also a consensus, as it contributes to revitalizing the city centers. [Extracted from the article]
