Since 2003, residential neighbourhoods for around 17,200 people and around 21,300 jobs have been built between the main railway station and Pasing. The starting signal for this large-scale urban redevelopment came in the mid-1990s with the relocation of the container and marshalling yard to the outskirts of the city. For Munich, this was a unique opportunity to redevelop 178 hectares of industrial and commercial space in a central location. Office and commercial buildings now form a new urban edge along the railway line. The districts of the "Central Railway Areas" extend for eight kilometres from the city centre to the Würmgrünzug. They can be discovered via a network of footpaths and cycle paths on both sides of the railway.
