Overview
- Munich named Paris-based MDP Michel Desvigne with PCA-STREAM as the winning team on Monday after a two-stage jury review.
- The concept cuts Ludwigstraße to two car lanes and adds shady tree groves and permeable plazas that put walkers first while keeping buses, taxis and bike routes.
- City officials plan to align surface works with a full rebuild of the Odeonsplatz U-Bahn station set to start in 2028, leaving the overall timeline and funding open.
- Bavaria’s heritage agency questioned the tree plan as a threat to historic sightlines and said the street never had a planted axis, while CSU and FDP leaders voiced similar worries.
- The city will exhibit all competition entries from May 26 to June 7 and then in the Technical Town Hall, before the building department asks the Stadtrat to decide next steps.
