Leader of Urban Development Society's latest appointment: Urban Development Society's new head

Julia Anneke Kunz has been appointed as the new Managing Director of the Stadtentwicklungsgesellschaft Solingen (SEG), effective from February 1st. With a strong background in urban development and project management, Kunz is set to steer SEG towards modern infrastructure projects that balance economic growth with environmental responsibility.

Hailing from Wuppertal, Kunz previously worked at the IGW - Iserlohner Gemeinnützige Wohnungsgesellschaft mbH for the past eleven years, where she headed the area of existing and urban development. Prior to that, she worked as a project manager in a planning office and as deputy head of department at the Planning and Building Supervision Office of the city of Wülfrath.

Kunz's focus lies in sustainable urban development, innovative housing solutions, and fostering community engagement in city planning. She sees the SEG as a "problem solver", "impulse generator", and strategic partner in the city, and is excited about her new role, which involves tasks such as brownfield development, new construction of residential properties, and social infrastructure, as well as dealing with problem properties.

Under her leadership, upcoming projects include revitalizing key urban districts in Solingen, expanding affordable housing initiatives, and integrating smart city technologies to improve residents' quality of life. Kunz emphasizes the importance of quickly starting the development of plots and collaborative planning processes involving local stakeholders to ensure developments meet community needs.

The position of Managing Director at the SEG continues to be held by a tandem, with Andreas Budde remaining in the role. Kunz looks forward to continuing the excellent work of her predecessors in the SEG management and successfully implementing projects with Budde.

The SEG's upcoming projects in areas like housing, care facilities, and urban development inspire Kunz. The two kindergartens currently being built on Schwanenstraße in Ohligs and at the clinic are initially in focus for 2025 for the SEG.
