Financing and outlook

Currently, between 120 and 130 million euros flow annually into urban projects, supplemented by more than 20 million euros for maintenance and management. The mayor of Hanover, Belit Onay, emphasized the urgency of bringing the building infrastructure into shape and maintaining it.
