The change of the Allotment Garden Development Plan of Berlin

Urban Farm DB summary

This report details the changes to Berlin's Allotment Garden Development Plan (KEP), revised in 2019 in response to urban development pressure. The original KEP focused on existing zoning systems for preservation guidelines, while the revised KEP uses statistical and spatial analysis to objectively demonstrate the importance of allotment gardens. The updated preservation category system more clearly indicates which facilities are preserved or designated for development, making the plan more data-driven.
