Social city

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

City districts with special development needs - Socially Integrative City is a German urban development program that has existed since 1999 . It is supported by the Federal Ministry responsible for construction (since 2018: Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Home Affairs ) and the federal states .

The origin of the program is a social and economic change in the cities , in particular through small-scale segregation since the 1990s, which poses new challenges for urban district development. The program is intended to respond to this with an integrated approach to comprehensive district development.

aims

The objectives of the program are to stabilize and improve the physical living and living conditions as well as the economic basis in the city districts or city quarters, to increase life chances by imparting skills, abilities and knowledge and to strengthen the image , public relations and identification of the quarters . Life in the urban and socially endangered areas, a social network and the motivation of the residents should be strengthened again.

execution

A holistic, constantly adapting urban and social planning as an integrated process of all actors is the beginning and the support of a measure for the social city. Not only structural measures, but comprehensive - including social - upgrading strategies are required.

Criteria for the implementation of the overall urban development measure are the urban development deficiencies as substance and functional weakness, the uniform and rapid preparation and implementation of the overall urban development measure and a broad public interest.

The affected citizens are to be intensively involved in the development of the overall social city measure. Public relations, district or quarter management as well as coordination and cooperation of all parties involved serve to promote understanding, optimize the implementation process and activate additional financial resources. The integrated action plan as a written fixation of the goals, measures, projects, synergy effects, cost planning and overview plays an essential role. The interlinking of different policy and action fields is necessary. Urban development funding (state) and district management (city) have a leading role in this.

Between 1999 and 2012, around one billion euros in federal financial aid were made available. Since the federal government finances a third of the total volume, together with funds from the federal states and municipalities, a total of over three billion euros was available. Around 40% of the measures were funded in large cities, around 40% in medium-sized towns and 20% in small towns and rural communities.

By 2018, the program had been implemented in 934 overall measures in 533 cities and municipalities . For the continuation of the program, the federal government provided 190 million euros per year and included it in its New Urban Development Funding program in 2019 .

Law

The legal basis for an overall measure of the social city as a redevelopment or development area and for its promotion can be found in the special urban planning law of the building code (BauGB) §§ 136 ff. Urban redevelopment measures, especially BauGB § 171e costs and financing of the development measure , in the administrative agreements between the federal government and the states on the granting of financial aid, in the urban development guidelines and decrees of the states, in their annual state programs as well as in the guidelines and statutes of the municipalities.
