Integrated urban development concept for Neubeckum town centre
(ISEK Neubeckum)

The Neubeckum town centre performs an important supply function for the entire district. With its neighbouring settlement areas, it should also maintain its functional capacity in the future. The overall aim is to secure the district as an attractive place to live and work.

An IUDC is a suitable planning instrument for recording the diverse topics, interests and demands in the district and preparing them in a locally adapted and results-oriented manner.

The IUDC provides a perspective for the future development of Neubeckum that identifies measures for challenges such as demographic change, restructuring in the retail sector and the need for renewal of public spaces and infrastructure. Integrated urban development concepts are also required in order to apply for urban development funding for the implementation of measures.

The urban development of the core area of Neubeckum has been determined by the Neubeckum framework plan since 1988. Based on this concept, the main street was redesigned to reduce traffic and can now be experienced as an attractive shopping street. A variety of measures were implemented to upgrade the public space and a network of cycle paths was developed.

Neubeckum on the railway line

The opening of the Cologne-Minden railway in 1847, today one of the main lines of the German railway from west to east, marked the beginning of Neubeckum's era. Thanks to the railway connection and the emerging cement industry, the independent district, which today has around 10,300 inhabitants, developed steadily. The Neubeckum coat of arms, with its depiction of the railway line, shows the great importance of the railway for Neubeckum.
