Bilfinger Berger Magazine 1/2009

In the future, German cities should be models of environmental awareness and social harmony. This is the result of a representative study carried out by the Prognos institute on behalf of Bilfinger Berger.

The overwhelming majority of those surveyed expressed a desire to live in socially and internationally mixed areas. Buildings should produce at least as much energy as they consume. And it ought to be possible to travel everywhere in the city by public transport. One in two could imagine doing without a car of their own in the city and getting involved in social projects. On the other hand, only one in three was prepared to accept a financial disadvantage.

The survey was conducted in connection with the Bilfinger Berger Awards being presented for the second time in 2009.
