"Wolfsburg is a green place to live" - an opinion that is not only shared by many Wolfsburg residents. Statistically speaking, the figures speak volumes. As a major city in Lower Saxony, our city leads the ranking of "city with the most green" with the highest proportion of recreational and forest areas per inhabitant.
The housing offensive will not change this top ratio in the coming years. Even if the 60 or so potential areas currently under discussion are implemented, the proportion of green space in the urban area will only change marginally, and forest areas will not be affected by the planned development.
The amount of agricultural land would be reduced by 3.7 % and recreational areas by 3.1 %. A small tribute in favor of the necessary creation of additional areas for thousands of citizens.
The city's green division is responsible for the maintenance of parks, street greenery, play areas, cemeteries, outdoor facilities at schools and daycare centers and other green spaces in the city, covering a total area of almost 1,006.50 hectares.
