Redevelopment areas

A redevelopment area is a clearly defined area in which the city of Hof wishes to carry out a so-called "urban redevelopment measure". To this end, the city of Hof adopts a formal redevelopment statute in accordance with Section 142 of the German Building Code (BauGB).

A redevelopment area is defined if redevelopment is necessary in an area of the city and is in the public interest. The necessity is proven by means of a preparatory study. This records urban development, structural and social conditions as well as interrelationships and, above all, grievances at the time of the investigations.

In addition to the city's measures in the public sphere, from which the entire redevelopment area will benefit, modernization and repair of buildings as well as construction and reorganization measures for the reuse of land can be promoted in the private sphere. All these measures contribute to achieving the goals of the overall measure.
