Urban Development Funding

The "Urban Development Promotion" program of the Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building supports projects nationwide aimed at socially, economically, and ecologically balanced urban development and urban renewal. As a grant program, it funds measures in areas such as infrastructure, urban district concepts, or conversion projects, thereby making a significant contribution to the sustainable design of urban spaces. The continuously open application deadlines enable municipalities and cooperation partners to plan and implement innovative concepts flexibly. The goal is to strengthen vibrant neighborhoods, unlock economic potential, and advance ecological renovations – with each project focusing on balancing social participation, economic development, and ecological responsibility.

Municipalities, regional authorities, as well as non-profit initiatives and private companies in the field of urban development find a tailored financing opportunity in the Urban Development Promotion program. A prerequisite for funding is the submission of an application by a municipality or in cooperation with local urban development stakeholders. Funded measures include, among others, urban development framework plans, district renewal, vacancy concepts, and public space designs. The nationwide scope allows for synergies between rural regions and metropolitan areas to be utilized in order to jointly address location- and district-specific challenges. Interested parties can submit an application at any time, thereby laying the foundation for forward-looking urban development projects.
