This will involve broad public participation.

A 4th purification stage is necessary to treat the wastewater accordingly before it flows back into the Regnitz.

As part of the urban development measure Erlangen-West II, the city is developing new residential areas on 35 hectares in Büchenbach-West. A total of around 1,170 new apartments (230 detached houses and 940 multi-storey apartments) will be built in the area of the development measure. The development measure will be implemented in several construction phases, for each of which separate development plans will be drawn up. The city buys the land in the development area, creates building planning rights and develops the plots. The city then sells the developed building land to those willing to build, property developers or building cooperatives. The construction of the Stadtteilhaus West was also part of the development measure.

The extension is necessary to cover the space requirements at Erlangen grammar schools in the short term as part of the G9 reintroduction.
