📋 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. Building minister Kerstin Schreyer has now handed over the first notifications of funding The city of Munich will receive a total of 1280000 euros for an inner city concept and a project fund. 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. Munichs 2nd mayor Katrin Habenschaden The corona pandemic has accelerated the structural change that has been taking place in the heart of our city for years. As the state capital we will therefore restructure our inner city but also the local centers and thus make them future-proof - for example through an improved quality of stay and a broader mix of offers. The funds from the special fund help us to master this challenge. 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.
