New development areas and how they look nowadays due to energy saving regulations, etc.
It used to be a huge site in an old district of East Berlin (former military area and restricted zone).
In 2006, things still started off quite reasonably. In the end, there are now around 500 houses. What’s interesting is that each year the plots got smaller, but the houses built on them became larger.
This was the beginning in 2006, as mentioned, still quite moderate:



Now, around 2017 and after about four construction phases, this is what it looks like:

There was no real zoning plan there. Practically anything could be built that was available in the portfolio.
Combining and rearranging didn’t go perfectly smoothly but it’s alright...

Perhaps some also consider that small children can play better on lawn areas than in flower beds [emoji6]
However, I tend to agree with you, ypg, that nice shrubs, trees, and flowers, which create beautiful colors depending on the season and attract birds, butterflies, bees, and bumblebees, add life and vibrancy to the garden...

But why a gable roof with a 2m (6 ft 7 in) knee wall would offer less usable floor space than a two-story house is something someone would have to explain to me first. With a gable roof, you can also have a well-usable attic space upstairs.

A garden area also means additional time and effort, which most people in typical new housing developments neither have the time for nor want to invest.
That means a patio, hedge, lawn. Anything beyond that involves more work.
Here are a few more examples:

The owner with a green thumb will probably not see the time spent in the garden as a loss or even work, but rather as a hobby and therefore enjoyment. However, I also think that it is often as you say. A lawn area almost takes care of itself – especially with an irrigation system and a robotic lawn mower [emoji4]
In our development plan, trees and shrubs are integrated from the start. Everyone is required to plant at least 3 fruit trees. However, we don’t have any plots smaller than 700m² (7,535 sq ft).
I think you’re being a bit too pessimistic. Fruit trees are quite common even on smaller plots. They don’t take up that much space. It would be terrible if all we had were lawns and thuja bushes everywhere.
