Urban development funding includes various federal and state programs to promote sustainable urban development. The financial resources made available in this context flow into urban development and redevelopment projects of major urban, economic, social, cultural and ecological significance. The aim is to achieve a positive and balanced development of the urban structure in all respects.
Urban development funding is applied in Rosenheim in the urban areas and programs shown:
Federal and State Urban Development Program Part I
Basic program
The focus of the federal-state urban development program Part I is on strengthening downtowns and local centers. The aim of the funding is to create attractive centers with a diverse mix of uses including housing, retail, services and culture. Targeted public investment and the commitment of private owners are intended to prevent a loss of function and significance of historic city centers. In doing so, a land-saving and resource-saving settlement development is pursued.
Federal and State Urban Development Program Part II
Socially Integrative City
In order to counteract social and spatial polarization in cities, the federal-state urban development program "Districts with Special Development Needs - Socially Integrative City" was launched in 1999. By supporting measures and projects, the program aims to strengthen the functional capacity of urban districts and counteract the negative development of disadvantaged neighborhoods.
In the Socially Integrative City neighborhoods, local efforts in the following areas in particular are to be taken into account with regard to living environment, social security, education, employment and integration:
- the refurbishment and upgrading of buildings
- an increase in recreational, green and play areas in the residential environment
- improvement of infrastructures, especially for children and young people
- social-integrative measures for education, integration and employment promotion
-
Social justice and quality of life in the district is a task for everyone. Socially Integrative City Rosenheim means shaping quality of life together with citizens, institutions of the social economy, institutions of welfare organizations, associations, the economy, politics and administration. The basic prerequisite for a sustainable design of the quality of life in our urban society is the participation and involvement of the citizens. With its spatial, organizational and personnel structures, the Social City of Rosenheim provides the framework for social, urban and economic district development, civic engagement and participation of citizens in Rosenheim's districts. In the urban areas with very dense residential development, framework conditions must be provided for citizens to participate in shaping their quality of life in the long term. The community centers E-Werk-Stüberl, Bürgerhaus Miteinander, Bürgertreff Happing and the district office Altstadt Ost have become much used and lively places where district residents meet and get involved.

Federal and State Urban Development Program Part III
Urban redevelopment
The emerging structural change requires an adaptation of urban structures to the development of population and economy. In order to promote the urban development concepts necessary for this, the federal and state governments initiated the Urban Redevelopment Program (East 2002 / West 2004).
With the aim of initiating necessary adjustment processes at an early stage, urban development concepts are pursued with the intentions of:
- Creation of sustainable urban structures
- Reuse and conversion of areas affected by structural change
- Strengthening of areas affected by change as residential and business locations
- Adaptation of residential areas to current needs and creation of sustainable forms of housing

In March 2009, the city of Rosenheim was included in the federal-state urban redevelopment program Stadtumbau West with the development of the railroad station area in Rosenheim.
Development goals of the urban redevelopment measure Bahnhofsareal.
The 10 defined target points for the development of the station area form the basis for the framework planning, the preparatory studies and the statutes for the urban redevelopment area. The objective of the urban redevelopment measure "Bahnhofsareal" is, among other things, the rapid and uniform reorganization and development of the station area, which is important in terms of urban development and has a promising future for the city of Rosenheim, as well as the associated reorganization of the mobility hub in front of the station reception building in Rosenheim.
The core points of the development of the station area in Rosenheim include:
- Formation of Südtiroler Platz as Rosenheim's city entrance situation.
- Upgrading Rosenheim's mobility hub by placing the central connection point at the train station.
- Establishment of trade, tourism, commercial, service, technology and educational facilities on the station site to raise Rosenheim's profile as the most important business location in the southeast Upper Bavarian region.
- Formation of a distinctive city entrance at Brückenberg / Münchener Straße.
- Strengthening Rosenheim's centrality by upgrading the Luitpoldstrasse area (between Bahnhofstrasse and Münchener Strasse).
- Strengthening the linking function of the area by upgrading bicycle and pedestrian traffic.
- Relieving the pressure on Enzenspergerstrasse through a new main traffic road on the southern station area.
- Better linking of the residential area "Am Gries" with downtown Rosenheim.
- Formation of a high-quality urban spatial edge to the existing railroad tracks.
- Conversion and preservation of the historic buildings as a monument of time.
On February 2, 2011, the city council approved the 10 target points for the development of the station area and approved the urban development concept and the utilization concept.

Federal and state urban development programs as of 2020
The Free State of Bavaria, the federal government and the European Union provide financial assistance for urban renewal in various urban development programs. These programs each pursue different goals.
In 2020, a comprehensive restructuring took place to simplify and further develop federal-state urban development funding. From 2020, funding will be concentrated on three programs instead of the previous six, while retaining the previous funding priorities and objectives.
The previous program priorities of "urban greening" and "monument protection" have been incorporated into the new programs as cross-cutting themes. This is because all programs now explicitly take account of climate protection, climate adaptation and biodiversity, in particular with the development of green infrastructure in cities and municipalities, the preservation of historical monuments, but also more far-reaching challenges of urban development such as the economical use of land, networked, locally compatible mobility or inter-municipal cooperation.
Further details on the new programs and their funding priorities can be found in the "Urban Development Guidelines" announced on January 1, 2020, as well as in the explanatory notes issued by the Bavarian State Ministry of Housing, Construction and Transportation.

Urban development funding - urban renewal in Bavaria
Since 1971, urban development funding has made a significant contribution to the urban renewal of Bavarian towns, markets and villages. The financial assistance provided by the federal government and the Free State of Bavaria activates private capital in multiple amounts and makes a lasting contribution to securing jobs.
A summary overview of urban development funding in Bavaria with detailed information on the current funding priorities, the individual funding programs, funding rules and numerous publications can be found at the Bavarian State Ministry of Housing, Construction and Transport.
