Vauban, Sustainable neighborhood in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany
The residential district features pedestrian pathways, bike lanes, and communal gardens distributed across a former military installation site.
French military forces occupied the area after World War II until 1992, when community groups initiated its transformation into a residential district.
Residents participate in educational programs focused on sustainable living practices through workshops and community events at the Centre Building 037.
The neighborhood connects to central Freiburg through an extensive tram network, allowing residents to maintain a car-free lifestyle.
Solar Settlement within Vauban generates surplus energy through advanced building designs and renewable energy systems integrated into residential structures.
