How does the planned high-rise project near the Paketposthalle connect to broader concerns about Munich's urban development?

The citizen's initiative, led by Robert Brannekämper, aims to prevent what they term a "dam breach" in urban development, fearing that approving these towers would set a precedent for future high-rise construction. The initiative will submit signatures for review by March, aiming for 43,000 to ensure validity, with a potential vote in May-July. The Büschl Group, in contrast, highlights the project's potential for job creation and new housing (over 1000 units).
