The new Rosenstein district will be created in a central location and surrounded by greenery. This 170-hectare site on the northern periphery of the city centre will provide housing and jobs for around 30,000 people. The future Rosenstein district will include Prag cemetery, the planned extensions of Schlossgarten and Rosenstein parks, the existing neighbourhoods and 60 hectares of new development site. The central point will be the historic Nordbahnhof district.
The new development sites are owned by the city
The 60 hectares of new development sites belong to the city of Stuttgart and will link up what are now separate residential, working and green areas, encouraging better integration in the city. Moreover, this will also join up old and new areas, allowing an attractive urban district to evolve over the coming years and decades.
The Rosenstein district will have excellent local public transport connections. What’s more, the new urban district will also be a symbol of pioneering urban development, as the city of Stuttgart will ensure that the new buildings make use of environment-friendly energy sources. The target is to create a CO2-neutral district.
