Berlin (dpa / bb) - For Berlin's green top candidate Bettina Jarasch, fast and ecological building with the help of wood is feasible.
"We have a great interest in breaking new ground in building," said the politician, who wants to lead her party in the election campaign for the House of Representatives in 2021, the German press agency.
This includes an express commitment to building faster.
"We want to build faster and more, but also meet our climate protection goals," said Jarasch.
“That is why timber construction is an important topic for us.
Wooden buildings store CO2, while building with concrete means a lot of CO2 emissions. "
Jarasch advocates close cooperation with the neighbors: "We are convinced that if you take an offensive approach to timber construction, together with Brandenburg, that would be a big common topic for the metropolitan region."
And, according to the Greens, it is also a contribution to achieving the housing construction goals sooner: "With a real timber construction offensive, which extends from training to the state-owned construction hut, we would also manage to become faster."
The fact that construction often goes slowly in Berlin is due to the lack of construction capacities of the companies and the lack of planning capacities in the districts, according to the Green top candidate.
«You can simply be faster with standardized modular structures.
We are now testing this with the first schools, ”said Jarasch.
The state-owned housing associations berlinovo and Howoge also tried it out with residential buildings.
"It would be a great project to get faster together with Brandenburg."

Timber construction has so far often failed because there is too little supply, said Jarasch.
“But the supply would grow if the demand was there.
If the State of Berlin expressly says "We want that", then the providers will come too. "
