Germany – Urban planning services – Fördergebietsmanagement - Verfahrensbegleitung im Rahmen des Städtebauförderprogramms "Sozialer Zusammenhalt"

The contracting authority, the City of Homberg (Efze) (AG), was included in the federal-state funding programme "Social Cohesion" in 2025. Currently, an Integrated Urban Development Concept (ISEK) is being developed with intensive citizen participation, which is scheduled to be completed and approved in Q3/Q4 2026. The ISEK will include a catalogue of measures with a defined prioritisation that needs to be implemented. Preliminary drafts of the ISEK and the catalogue of measures are attached to the tender documents. The funding programme focuses spatially on the southern part of the inner city of Homberg (Efze), starting at the bus station/Wallstraße, transitioning to Homberger Freiheit and the area of Ziegenhainer Straße. In the ISEK process, the funding area is to be supplemented by two areas – the Stellberg with the sports park and the Untergasse. The overall development process of the ISEK and the subsequent implementation of the measures aims to qualitatively upgrade the funding area in the inner city of Homberg. This includes improving usability and better socio-spatial networking for various population groups.
