Infill

Vacant lots are areas where a building as opposed to the surrounding areas has not occurred (yet).

Building

In building construction within city vacant of buildings completely surrounded areas are designated as vacant lots. It may also involve land or parts to several plots of prevailing local size. You are immediately or in the short term and are buildable to a constructed road between other developed land. In addition, development institutions are sufficiently available or can be prepared, which makes the cultivation of vacant lots cheaper than, say, those of new residential areas without considerable effort.

For Germany see also indoors, area character. What matters to the inner region, the municipality may determine by statute indoors. The very complex regulations this can be found in the Building Code.

Minority development

To date, vacant lots are often a result of the Second World War. Also referred to as ' vacant lot ' when a building is in a multi-storey frontage with far fewer floors. So you name the building possibilities (Official German: " less developed property ").

Land with a previously low usage, such as by a gazebo or billboard, are also referred to as gaps between buildings.

Examples

In Cologne there is since 1990 an urban ' infill program '. Within this framework, in 2011 was 20,000. Apartment built. The city is trying to discussions and consulting services to owners move to close the respective vacant lot. Nevertheless, there were still 2011 2500 vacant lots - land, on which nothing has happened. These have, according to the city of Cologne is a potential for around 15,500 dwellings. Even on exposed areas of the City, there are vacant lots or under development.

Road construction

In road construction, vacant lots are unfinished sections, the connection line was already completed by the crossing position. An example of this is the 96 resulting in the construction of the motorway A gap of the Bavarian- Baden-Württemberg border to the construction site in the Bavarian region. Since the track was built in each of the state on which the road is located, resulted from differing build speed more than 13 km long impasse.
