STADTENTWICKLUNG BRANDENBURG III

The project relates to the financing of ongoing urban renewal promotional schemes in the Federal State of Brandenburg in 2014-2017.

The programmes comprise investments in built-up urban areas for the downsizing, modernising and rehabilitation of social housing, public buildings and historical monuments and their associated social and urban infrastructure. The schemes to be financed under the programmes will be located within designated urban renewal areas throughout the region. The project will be co-financed via subsidies from the Federal German Government. The EIB’s financing covers the remaining project cost for which Brandenburg is responsible.

The status of any environmental studies and public consultations related to the urban renewal investments will be reviewed during project appraisal. Energy efficiency requirements in line with the EU Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings 2010/31/EU will also be further assessed during project appraisal.
