What is an inner city fund?
Inner city funds, also known as disposition funds, are used in overall urban development measures to provide financial support for smaller projects developed through local involvement. With the help of this fund, ideas from private actors (e.g. associations, traders, residents) can be implemented in the short term that serve the development of the inner city development area. In this way, the inner city fund provides an incentive to get involved in the development of one's own city.
