The southern old town of Verden, Germany, is set for a comprehensive transformation, with completion expected by 2040. The project aims to create green meeting points and establish barrier-free paths.
The initiative includes plans for greening, removing paving, and creating accessible spaces. The city is seeking approximately ten million euros in funding for the project, with a decision expected in spring 2026.
The project is part of a larger urban redevelopment plan initiated by local authorities, addressing issues like vacant properties and a lack of green spaces. The city aims to address these issues within the next 15 years, enhancing the historical center in an environmentally friendly way.
