"Living in Neighborhoods" (WiN) program

Since 1999, the municipal program “Living in Neighborhoods” (WiN) has formed an integrated approach for a long-term and cross-departmental social urban development policy in the city of Bremen, together with the federal and state urban development programs.

The state program "Lively Neighborhoods" was launched in 2020 to strengthen neighborhoods in Bremen and Bremerhaven. This program supports local initiatives and institutions while also expanding and strengthening social infrastructure.
