Drgan der Staatsen Wohnwohnungspolitik Berlin W 35, Großadmiral von Koefter-Afer 59 Fernruf: 22 27 61 Guidelines for the Bor planning of housing projects after the war. While housing has to step back in the period before the war and now during the war before the urgent tasks of the Reich in defence and economic security, it is to be expected that a large social housing programme will be implemented after the war. As far as the labour force and the institutions of the community housing system are available during the war, it is the duty and task of all housing companies to prepare themselves for this coming great task and to plan the future housing measures. This applies not only to the larger housing companies, which already have to carry out war-important construction projects before and during the war, but also to the smaller and medium-sized housing enterprises, in particular also the local construction cooperatives, since the war also has to deal with the organically grown local housing needs more and more effectively, in addition to the housing needs of the young people, population shifts, etc. Boron planning will have to cover various types of small housing construction. After the end of the war and with the entrance of the dwelling ban, largely preplanned and prepared housing projects in the community housing sector will have a need to be available for the immediate beginning. In this practical activity of the housing enterprises, it is deliberately excluded from the development of a comprehensive housing programme, which covers the entire territory of the Reich, and which, in addition to local housing needs, always takes account of those arising from industrial relocation, population shifts, military and economic measures after the war, etc. However, these shifts and shifts cannot yet be determined in the middle of the war to the full extent and at the beginning, so that a housing programme, which also refers to such developments in detail, can only be set up at the end of the War. Depending on this, however, it can be assumed that already after that. The situation in all major Drten, Jndustrie districts, but also in the countryside everywhere a local housing demand exists. Practical housing immediately after the war becomes, as long as a comprehensive housing programme on the basis of the latest needs investigations in connection with the Sndustrie relocations etc. It is not yet possible to cover a modest proportion of the already existing housing needs, but these first housing measures in particular must be prepared. At the same time, it is recommended that no housing measures should be introduced, the implementation of which can only be definitively determined in connection with the post-war population shifts and relocations, etc. These guidelines are designed to help the housing enterprises to manage this task in order to provide them with guidance on Borrowing work within the framework of their work possibilities. In the last few years, many housing companies have largely prepared and planned construction projects which could not be started and carried out before the war due to the conditions in the building materials and work. In this boron-planning work there is a huge reserve of construction projects, which extend to projects already planned in the past by type of housing, state of the art, type of planning, use of building materials etc. This preparatory work has so far been carried out to a large extent by the individual housing companies directly and without any relationship to housing projects by other housing companies. Housing after the war, on the other hand, will have to be substantially reduced to the point where larger closed housing measures are combined in place of a large number of smaller individual construction projects according to uniform urban land sows and planning in urban expansion. The plans already in place must therefore be examined in particular in the light of the direction of whether and to what extent they can be linked to planned construction projects by other public housing companies in cities, whether they are structurally and organisationally linked and integrated, or whether an extension is possible with the help of the developership of several public housing enterprises. The basic places developed in the following for the joint cooperation of several housing enterprises also apply to the already existing plans. I. Cooperation of housing enterprises in "Construction Communities". The housing enterprises located in a Drte or district have for some time been grouped together to form "Work Communitys". In this case, it is necessary to examine and determine which housing companies will be able to carry out construction projects after the war, whether they already have land at their disposal for this purpose, whether preliminary planning has already been carried out and initiated. Sahlreiche housing companies have already built-up land in Besiz, others have to procure it first. It is not intended that a housing company should undertake the preparatory work alone, but should do so in cooperation and in liaison with the other housing companies in order to achieve, as far as possible, large-scale and scattered individual construction projects in the form of large and closed Community housing projects in order for urban development to develop as planned. The local housing companies eligible for future residential construction work are, in effect, commissioned by the chairman of the working group or a larger housing company or an appropriate perfönlichteit to conduct the necessary preliminary negotiations. To this end, a list of the existing land and the existing building plans should be drawn up. To the extent that housing projects in question are also provided for by inter-local housing companies, this link must be established in order to combine the planning and preparation as far as possible. It is also appropriate, in particular where local housing companies take part in pre-planning and preparation (maintenance), and on the basis of these Community findings and the Community plan to be drawn up for a larger closed settlement measure, it is also necessary to carry out the housing and settlement later. (ii) the establishment and preparation of a joint service of several local housing enterprises, supplemented, where appropriate, by the participation of local housing companies; and settlement companies which, as local or inter-local developers, jointly carry out such a uniform urban development task in the creation of a closed apartment. (b) a "administrative community" in the joint management of several housing enterprises or a "working group" in all housing enterprises to the effect of general promotion of work); such a "building community" is only the housing enterprises which in fact actively take over the construction and settlement activities as builders. Each housing company remains independent; it also retains:
