===Old Town===

At the centre of the old town is the [[Marienplatz]] with the [[Old Town Hall, Munich|Old Town Hall]] and the [[New Town Hall, Munich|New Town Hall]]. Its tower contains the [[Rathaus-Glockenspiel]]. The [[St. Peter's Church, Munich|Peterskirche]] is the oldest church of the inner city. Nearby St. Peter, the Gothic hall-church [[Heiliggeistkirche (Munich)|Heiliggeistkirche]] was converted to baroque style from 1724 onwards and looks down upon the [[Viktualienmarkt]]. Three gates of the demolished medieval fortification survive; these are the [[Isartor]], the [[Sendlinger Tor]], and the [[Karlstor]]. The Karlstor leads up to the [[Karlsplatz (Stachus)|Stachus]], a square dominated by the [[Justizpalast (Munich)|Justizpalast]] (Palace of Justice).

The [[Munich Frauenkirche|Frauenkirche]] serves as the cathedral for the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Munich and Freising|Catholic Archdiocese of Munich and Freising]]. The nearby [[St. Michael's Church, Munich|Michaelskirche]] is the largest [[renaissance]] church north of the Alps, while the [[Theatine Church, Munich|Theatinerkirche]] is a [[basilica]] in Italianate high baroque, which had a major influence on southern German [[baroque]] architecture. Its dome dominates the [[Odeonsplatz]].

===Palaces and castles===

The large [[Munich Residenz]] complex on the edge of Munich's Old Town now ranks among Europe's most significant museums of interior decoration. Within the {{Lang|de|Residenz|italic=no}} is the splendid [[Cuvilliés Theatre]] and next door is the [[National Theatre Munich]]. Among the mansions that still exist in Munich are the [[Palais Porcia]], the [[Palais Preysing]], the [[Palais Holnstein]] and the [[Prinz-Carl-Palais]]. All mansions are situated close to the {{Lang|de|Residenz|italic=no}}, so is the [[Alter Hof]], the first residence of the [[House of Wittelsbach]].

===Modernist architecture===
Despite Munich being the breeding ground for German [[Jugendstil]], starting with the architect [[Martin Dülfer]], Munich Jugendstil style was quickly submerged as historic trash. While the modernist architect [[Theodor Fischer]] was based in Munich, his influence on Munich underwhelmed. Prior to 1914 the city of Munich was under-industrialized. During the [[Weimar Republic]], the Munich establishment was hostile to [[modernism]]. The TUM professor [[German Bestelmeyer]] favored a conservative style, and [[Jacobus Oud]] was rejected for the post of city building chief. Modernist exceptions include a series of post offices by [[Robert Vorhoelzer]] built in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Examples of [[avant-garde]] temporary constructions include the ''Wohnmaschine'' (''Housing Machine'') by [[Robert Vorhoelzer]], as well as the ''Flachdachhaus'' (''Flat Roof House'') by [[Fritz Norkauer]]. [[Paul Schultze-Naumburg]], and the [[Kampfbund]] enjoyed particular popularity.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Munich and Memory: Architecture, Monuments, and the Legacy of the Third Reich |author1= Gavriel D.

===High rise buildings===

Several high-rise buildings are clustered at the northern edge of Munich in the skyline, like the [[Hypo-Haus|HVB Tower]], the [[Arabella High-Rise Building]], the [[Highlight Towers]], [[Uptown Munich]], Münchner Tor and the [[BMW Headquarters]] next to the [[Olympiapark (Munich)|Olympic Park]]. Further high-rise buildings are located in the {{ill|Werksviertel|de}} in [[Berg am Laim]].

===Long-term residential development ===
Munich is subject to a long-term residential development plan that is established by the city administration of Munich. The LaSie ("Langfristige Siedlungsentwicklung") was passed in 2011 in response to the acute housing crisis. LaSie is aligned with the strategic development plan passed for Munich in 1998 ("Perspektive München"). LaSie defines three priorities for the construction of residential housing in Munich. Existing [[housing estate]]s, post-war low-density developments, and the suburban area are subject to [[densification]] ("Nachverdichtung"). Non-residential industrial areas are subject to conservation and will be turned into residential and mixed-use areas. On greenfield sites in the Munich periphery medium and large-scale housing estates are to be built so as to extend Munich's urban center.<ref>{{Cite book| title=The Redundant City: A Multi-Site Enquiry Into Urban Narratives of Conflict and Change | author=Norbert Kling |publisher= transcript Verlag| year=2020| isbn=9783839451144| page=245}}</ref>
