Erlangen invests 282 million: climate neutrality by 2030!

Erlangen, Deutschland - In Erlangen, the future of urban properties is now being redesigned! The city council's construction and work committee has approved a pioneering renovation schedule entitled "Climate-neutral urban properties". The city thus sets a powerful sign in the fight against climate change and thus wants to significantly reduce the CO2 emissions of urban buildings. According to the Wiesentbote In 2022, Erlangen issued around 8,762 tons of CO2, which is almost 1% of the entire emissions in the city.

The plan provides for both the renovation effort of each individual building to evaluate and to prioritize the renovation projects according to urgency and economy. Estimated costs for the implementation amount to around 282 million euros - a bathing of investments, which is said to be worthwhile. Up to 20% of these costs could be covered from federal funds, which could significantly reduce the financial pressure on the city. Mayor Florian Janik makes it clear that additional funding is required for a quick implementation.

investments and personnel requirements

to achieve climate neutrality by 2030, annual investments of 40.3 million euros and 64 newly created positions in the building sector are required. Even if you move the target brand to 2045, it remains a challenging task with 14.3 million euros annually and 12 full -time positions that the city takes seriously.

further developments in the city

In addition, a meeting of the Environment, Transport and Planning Committee (UVPA) on July 15th is pending. During this session, important topics such as the urban development concept and an allotment concept will be on the agenda. The district advisory board Alterlangen also comes together to discuss local concerns.

The opening of an info point and a viewing terrace to the new locking brunge is another highlight that should delight the urban population.

The Main-Donau Canal, with a length of 171 km, not only connects 15 European countries, but is also an important element of regional development.

But let's be honest: it will be difficult without the support of the federal government.

Above all, the introduction of new funding programs should help to advance the energy transition in construction.
