    Verkehrs- und Siedlungskonzept für 2025 Seeland Biel

    Die Region seeland.biel/bienne arbeitet derzeit an der Aktualisierung des Regionalen Gesamtverkehrs- und Siedlungskonzepts 2025 (RGSK 2025) sowie des Agglomerationsprogramms der 5. Generation (AP5). Diese beiden Planungsinstrumente zielen darauf ab, die Siedlungs-, Landschafts- und Verkehrsplanung in der Region harmonisch aufeinander abzustimmen und stehen bis zum 11. März 2024 zur öffentlichen Mitwirkung offen.

    Die Koordination dieser Planungen über Gemeindegrenzen hinweg ist für die Region seeland.biel/bienne eine zentrale Aufgabe. Das RGSK und das AP verfolgen das gemeinsame Ziel, eine nachhaltige Entwicklung zu fördern, die sowohl den Bedürfnissen der Bevölkerung und der Wirtschaft entspricht als auch sorgsam mit dem knappen Boden umgeht und dabei die Umwelt schützt. Dies geschieht vor dem Hintergrund eines wachsenden Bevölkerungszuwachses und steigender Mobilitätsbedürfnisse.

    Das RGSK legt als regionaler Richtplan verbindliche Vorgaben für die Ortsplanungen der Gemeinden fest und fokussiert auf die räumliche und verkehrliche Entwicklung. Das AP schafft die Grundlage für die Mitfinanzierung von Verkehrsprojekten durch den Bund, wobei bereits frühere Generationen des Programms Bundesbeiträge in Millionenhöhe auslösten.

    Das RGSK 2025 wird in zwei Etappen überarbeitet, wobei die erste Etappe bis 2025 die Entwicklung eines neuen Zukunftsbildes für verschiedene Teilräume, die Überprüfung von Vorranggebieten für Siedlungserweiterungen und die Aktualisierung von Maßnahmen umfasst.

    Das AP5 setzt seinen Schwerpunkt auf die Entwicklung von öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln, Freiräumen und Klimaschutz. Es integriert langfristige Ziele und Strategien, einschließlich des Klimawandels, und stärkt die Siedlungsentwicklung von innen.

    Bis zum 11. März 2024 haben Gemeinden, Verbände, Organisationen und alle Interessierten die Möglichkeit, sich zu beiden Programmen zu äußern. Nach einer Vorprüfung durch den Kanton im Mai 2024 werden RGSK und AP im Frühjahr 2025 der Mitgliederversammlung von seeland.biel/bienne zur Verabschiedung vorgelegt.

  • Sustainability meets quality of life in Spiez

    Sustainability meets quality of life in Spiez

    This development not only meets the needs of singles, couples and families, but also takes into account the requirements of older people through special structural features. In realising the project, the focus is on both the quality of the construction and the use of sustainable materials, without losing sight of a fair price-performance ratio.

    The design of the residential complex is based on modern architectural principles. It consists of five cloverleaf-shaped main buildings and a final building. This configuration forms a central courtyard that is ideal for communal activities. Star-shaped paths provide access to further green and leisure areas. The project accommodates a total of 81 residential units, the majority of which are for rent and 35 units for sale, including four luxury penthouses and two studios.

    Away from the living spaces, the complex offers numerous amenities such as an underground car park with 96 parking spaces, bicycle and technical rooms and studios. But what makes this project stand out is its commitment to renewable energy. At its heart is an ice storage heating system that completely dispenses with fossil fuels. This innovative system utilises an underground water tank as an energy store, from which energy is generated by a heat pump. A solar air absorber optimises this process, making the project a pioneer in sustainable energy concepts.

  • Housing estate receives self-sufficient lighting

    Housing estate receives self-sufficient lighting

    The outdoor lighting in the Moosbühlstrasse housing estate in Moosseedorf near Bern is no longer dependent on the power grid, BKW said in a statement . The Bernese energy and infrastructure company has installed 27 solar-powered LED lights here, which throw sufficient light onto stairs and into house entrances, but emit as little light as possible that is irritating to people and the environment. With the project, which is financially supported by the municipality , BKW is “for the first time equipping an entire settlement with sustainable solar lights,” project manager Simon Jakob from BKW is quoted as saying in the press release.

    The innovative lighting has a whole range of advantages over conventional outdoor lighting, as explained in more detail in the press release. Not only can the lamps be operated independently of the mains supply, but there is also no need to pull cables when setting up and replacing them. The solar panels attached to all four sides of the lamp posts generate enough energy to operate the lights even on dark winter days. Motion-dependent control also helps to save energy. "The trend towards as little light as necessary and the population's greater environmental awareness makes solar outdoor lighting interesting for residents and owners," says Jakob.

  • Almost all of the new apartments in Würenlos have been sold

    Almost all of the new apartments in Würenlos have been sold

    In the middle of the center of Würenlos, the new Steinhof settlement with eight apartment buildings is being built directly on the Landstrasse. They offer 85 apartments and the community is expected to have around 200 residents. The first tenants or buyers should be able to move in in August 2022. Most of the two and a half to five room apartments have already been sold, according to an article in the “ Badener Tagblatt ”. However, there should also be buyers of an entire house among the investors, so that rental offers can also be expected in the future. “We expected a run on the apartments. But we would never have thought that things would go so well, ”said architect Martin Thalmann , whose company is located in Wettingen AG.

    The settlement is close to the town center and the train station and also close to a forest, so that leisure time in close proximity to nature is possible. The client is Immopuls AG. The modern buildings also have underground parking garages.

    The settlement is named after the traditional Steinhof inn . It was closed for a long time and only reopened as a hotel and restaurant in August after modernization. “Gasthof Steinhof, founded in 1850, has always been a veteran of hospitality and conviviality in Würenlos. In the middle of the 20th century it developed into a popular excursion destination in the region, not least thanks to a huge lawn for sunbathing and the associated zoo, ”says a self-portrait on the hotel’s website. This is now run by the Lisa and Juan Rodriguez family.
