Urban and regional development in Thuringia. Our urban and regional development services at a glance

In the field of urban and regional development, LEG Thüringen offers a comprehensive range of services, particularly to municipal partners. As a recognized urban renewal agency, LEG Thüringen assists Thuringian towns and municipalities in revitalizing and redesigning inner-city neighborhoods and addressing structural deficiencies. In urban development, it focuses primarily on locations that are of central importance to the development of a region. In regional development, the focus is on strengthening regional cooperation between mayors and district administrators in areas such as economic development, tourism, and infrastructure.

Regional management

The spatial development of Thuringia often requires coordinated action across municipal boundaries. As LEG Thüringen we support sub-regions of the Free State and inter-municipal collaborations as regional managers and facilitators.

We bring independence, assertiveness, and a wealth of experience and knowledge to regional management. Our goal is to promote the economic, social, and environmental development of the regions and to effectively coordinate the collaboration of local and regional stakeholders.

Digital infrastructure

Digitalization opens up new opportunities for the people of Thuringia – in everyday life, in their careers, and in their participation in society. A prerequisite for this is a high-performance digital infrastructure as a cornerstone of a digital society and a digitized economy.

With the Digital Infrastructure Information Center, we determine the current state of broadband coverage in a practical and up-to-date manner. This provides a sound basis for further government action in the Free State of Thuringia.

We support government agencies, Thuringian citizens, and companies with technical expertise in operational processes related to the expansion of digital infrastructure. A key foundation for this is the visual presentation and provision of information on current broadband availability.

Based on our diverse expertise, we also provide strategic support to the Free State of Thuringia in the development of needs-based, convergent networks. This includes considering the development and expansion of high-performance mobile networks. Because alongside wired digital infrastructure, the most comprehensive possible network coverage is becoming increasingly important in everyday life.

Action Alliance for City Centers
Lively, vibrant, and diverse – that's how our Thuringian city centers should be. A place where trade, gastronomy, and commerce flourish; a place where public and cultural life pulsates; a place where residents and visitors enjoy meeting and interacting.

LEG Thüringen supports the implementation of the national sustainability goal of reducing land consumption nationwide to 30 hectares per day by 2020. The Free State of Thuringia has even set itself the long-term goal of reducing net land consumption and net land sealing to zero. To support this LEG Thüringen operates a brownfield register, which already includes over 1,000 sites of 3,000 m² and is being further expanded.
