Ronny Kazyska was interviewed by Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on skyscrapers, high-rise buildings and urban densification in German metropolitan areas. The interview focused on land scarcity in major German cities and the role of very tall buildings in sustainable urban development.
In the interview, Ronny Kazyska explained why Frankfurt am Main holds a special position in Germany and which conditions need to be met for high-rise buildings to be viable from an urban planning, economic, and functional perspective.
He classified skyscrapers as a distinct property type that can contribute to the efficient use of scarce inner-city land when planned appropriately. The interview also addressed mixed-use concepts, location quality, and the question of whether residential use at great height can help relieve pressure on tight real estate markets.
The interview was published in the print edition of Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on 22 June 2022 and remains available online for subscribers.
