📋 Tender Overview
This year the building ministry has made available a one-off 100 million euros for the special fund Revitalize inner cities. The funds are used to support cities markets and municipalities in strengthening and maintaining their town centers. Construction minister Kerstin Schreyer has now handed over the first funding notices The city of Ingolstadt will receive 100000 euros for furnishing the Stadtpark Donau. We support them in revitalizing and strengthening the city center. The corona pandemic and the lockdown have exacerbated the already difficult situation in numerous inner cities and town centers in some cases drastically. Schreyer I am glad that we in Bavaria have powerful funding programs for urban and local development. Urban development funding has been a successful project for 50 years. With the special fund Revitalizing Inner Cities we use them to meet current challenges in the municipalities. Because we have to revitalize the inner cities. I will continue to work for the affected industries and the city centers. Ingolstadts Lord Mayor Dr. Christian Scharpf Like a magnifying glass the corona pandemic has focused on the importance of high-quality and central open spaces for citizens. Thanks to the grants from the program Revitalize Inner Cities the open spaces along the Danube can be made even more attractive in the immediate vicinity of our historic old town. As part of the Stadtpark Donau project a circular route along the Danube is being upgraded and supplemented with new furniture. The recreational function and nature conservation issues are sensitively coordinated with one another. Further measures are planned that not only improve the quality of stay for people but also enhance the natural environment for animals and plants. In this way our urban space along the Danube is made sustainable. The building ministry announced in July which municipalities would benefit from the special fund. After these municipalities have submitted applications for funding the funds can now be approved. Its great to see that the communities are now starting to implement their projects said Schreyer. If we want to know what the inner city of the future will look like we have to think through all areas from architecture and traffic to art and culture to retail and gastronomy. The topic is more topical than ever and it is now up to us whether Corona might even become an opportunity for the city centers.
