Aachen tackles the future

A city at a standstill? Certainly not! Aachen is tackling the future. We are driving urban development forward with projects such as the Haus der Neugier, the Soers sports park and the social expansion of Aachen-Forst. We are transforming Büchel and Theaterplatz into diverse, inviting living spaces. We are creating needs-based and affordable living space. We are ensuring a vibrant and safe city center. And we are tackling climate change with sustainable mobility and climate-friendly construction, housing and living. You are cordially invited to get constructively involved. Because "the city" is all of us. Get involved, lend a hand!

Because "City of Aachen" means everyone who lives, learns, works, does business, manages and researches here. Only together can we ensure that our city remains worth living in.

Providing Aachen's residents with affordable housing therefore remains a top priority for municipal action.
