Funding secured for next phase of Moosach urban renewal projects

Munich's city council planning and building committee has approved continued funding for the Moosach urban renewal area. The decision means the planned renewal work in the district will go ahead, and the city will continue to draw on urban development funding from the federal government and the Free State of Bavaria.

The committee's decision implements an earlier city council resolution of 29 April, which set out the renewal goals and the priority projects for the second phase of the scheme. The aim is to develop Moosach as a liveable, socially minded and environmentally responsible district.

The approved projects include strengthening the housing estates west of Dachauer Straße, redesigning Moosach's St.-Martins-Platz, carrying out the future plan for the Westfriedhof cemetery, improving public green spaces and making existing buildings more energy-efficient. To help consolidate the city budget, the projects were prioritised and scaled back.

The funding also protects investments already made, existing plans and the city's work with the Government of Upper Bavaria and the Münchner Gesellschaft für Stadterneuerung mbH (MGS). As the renewal agency, MGS supports the delivery of the projects and oversees developments locally.

The city's head of planning, Professor Dr Elisabeth Merk, said: "Urban renewal is an important tool for strengthening established districts and achieving lasting improvements in quality of life for local people. Funding the approved projects in Moosach lays the foundations for continuing the development already under way and, together with local people, preparing the district for the future."
