Quantitative targets
The description of the project says, "In the spatial planning procedure, the so-called third-party solution was defined. One third living, one third trade fair and trade, one third green" (Reference 1). As a result the project aimed at creating a 210 hectare large semi-natural public park with approximately 190 hectare large public green areas and a 10 hectare large lake, provide dwelling for 16000 residents.
Monitoring indicators defined
- number of residents in the new residential area
- size of the semi-natural public area (Reference 1)
- size of the semi-natural public area (Reference 1)

Type of innovation
Please specify technological innovation
The park was created in accordance with the vision of Munich for dense, urban and green development, and aimed to serve as a model for sustainable urban development. The plans had to be up-to-date, taking into consideration ecology, landscape and recreation. As the documents of the intervention say, "the city of Munich is proud to be able to create a functional and ecologically high-quality park with the Riemerpark, which is seamlessly integrated into the already existing large green spaces like the Englischer Garten, Nymphenburger Schlosspark, Isaranlagen, Olympiapark, Ostpark and Westpark" (Reference 1).
