fifteen million euros allocated for socio-economic equality and integration

In 2022, the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing in Baden-Württemberg launched the Landes-SIQ, a programme aimed at boosting urban development in the region. This initiative complements the landscape of urban development funding, building upon the federal program of the same name, which ended in 2020.

The Landes-SIQ is a comprehensive programme, providing funding for a variety of eligible facilities. These include community centres, kindergartens, libraries, renovated facilities, and improved central green spaces. The programme also funds the new construction of kindergarten facilities, the construction and modernisation of community houses, media libraries, and association rooms, as well as the development of playgrounds in urban renewal areas.

The Ministry of Urban Development and Housing is the responsible body for the Landes-SIQ program. For more information, you can contact the Press Office or the Citizen's Representative of the Ministry.

The funding is distributed across urban renewal programs, alphabetically listed by counties. In 2025, 25 cities and municipalities will receive funding from the Landes-SIQ. Since 2022, almost 100 municipalities have been funded by the programme.

The prerequisite for funding is that the facility is situated in an area of urban renewal and can be implemented swiftly. The programme is oversubscribed fivefold in 2025, with a total of 68 applications received, amounting to around 72 million euros. This indicates a significant need for urban development funding in Baden-Württemberg.

The funds are in high demand, and the Landes-SIQ aims to establish and preserve spots for community interaction in town centres and neighbourhoods. The programme also focuses on social integration within urban areas. Financial assistance can be claimed within a four-year period, and the total amount of funding for 2025 is 15,387,000 euros.

However, it's worth noting that there are no specific cities or municipalities in Baden-Württemberg listed as supported by IBW/Landes-SIQ for future viability renovations in 2025 in the provided search results.

In conclusion, the Landes-SIQ continues to play a crucial role in Baden-Württemberg's urban development, providing much-needed funding for various facilities and initiatives. The programme's focus on community interaction, social integration, and swift implementation makes it an invaluable resource for the region's ongoing urban development.
