Project Assistance National Urban Development Policy

The National Urban Devel­op­ment Policy (Nationale Stadtentwicklung­spolitik) ini­ti­at­ive was launched in May 2007. In the form of the National Urban Devel­op­ment Policy, the con­tents and goals of the LEIPZIG CHARTER on the sus­tain­able European city are being given a strong foot­ing at the national level in col­lab­or­a­tion with the fed­eral states and the muni­cip­al­it­ies.

The National Urban Devel­op­ment Poli­cy’s object­ives and pro­grammes are con­tinu­ously dis­cussed with rep­res­ent­at­ives of the polit­ical and busi­ness worlds, public author­it­ies, uni­ver­sit­ies and civil soci­ety, and then recal­ib­rated accord­ingly. The annual Fed­eral Con­gress serves as a plat­form for inter­ac­tion between the vari­ous parties act­ively inter­ested in urban issues (Berlin 2007, Munich 2008, Essen 2009, Nurem­berg 2010, Kassel 2011, Berlin 2012, Man­nheim/Lud­wig­shafen 2013, Essen 2014, Leipzig 2015, Han­nover 2016, Ham­burg 2017, Frank­furt/Main 2018).
