The southern part of the Blankenburg subdistrict, which is also sparsely populated, contains the site for a planned 40-hectare new neighbourhood development that will include 6,000 apartments and additional commercial space. At the same time, potential for development still exists in the more urban locations in Pankow as well. For example, the “Pankower Tor” project will create a new neighbourhood over an area of more than 34 hectares at the former Pankow freight and marshalling yard.
