Act

In his work in the State Planning Office in Hamburg from 1954 to 1965, he called for a political perspective on planning and placed great emphasis on the mediation and participation of people in planning processes. During this time he worked, among other things, on two plans, Neu Altona and City Nord , in which he expressed his basic convictions on urban development and planning. Neu Altona was about reconstruction planning. It showed the avoidance of closed, narrow blocks and instead represented an open arrangement of the buildings with connecting green spaces between the houses. This is how residential quarters were created that are still of high quality today. As part of the planning for City Nord, a new location for individually designed administration buildings was created.

From 1965 to 1973 Christian Farenholtz was building mayor in Stuttgart . He was also a member of the German Council for Urban Development and thus had a large share in the development of the Urban Development Promotion Act (StBauFG), which later found its way into the Building Code ( BauGB ). In connection with the Urban Development Act, the simulation game was also introduced as a planning tool, thus enabling all those concerned to participate in the planning.

He then worked for 7 years, from 1973 to 1980, in Hamburg at GEWOS (Institute for Urban, Regional and Housing Research). With his help, urban development plans for Hameln , Itzehoe and Osnabrück were drawn up . In addition, thorough housing market analyzes and social studies as well as the evaluation of the StBauFG were carried out.

From 1980 Christian Farenholtz was a professor at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg ( TUHH ) and worked here on the development of the urban development / urban planning course . In 1988 his time at the TUHH ended.

Subsequently, he made policy advice for the federal government, states and municipalities and was also involved in the alignment of building laws in the FRG / GDR .
