[Requirements for a healthy residential environment from the viewpoint of urban planning]

Building during the post-war period was mainly confined to producing sufficient residential quarters. The residential environment as an empty space between the individual buildings was only rarely considered and practically never included in the planners' deliberations. Increasingly poor ecological marginal conditions resulted in a new kind of consciousness of the quality of the residential environment, but planning is still orientated along the lines of conditions and requirements as they were valid during the 'sixties. A high potential of the demands made by the residents, and the possibilities which the planner has at his disposal.
