Population & Steets in New-Leipzig City
The redevelopment of Leipzig is not all roses. The city is facing a mix of challenges, from local government budget cuts to the end of government subsidy programmes. Leipzig's population growth is concentrated in the historical center and in its immediate surroundings to the south and northwest. A number of concerns are weighing against a regrowth of the city. Listed below are some of the main concerns for Leipzig's redevelopment.
The University of Leipzig, Germany's largest university, attracts millions of dollars annually. In 2009, it celebrated its 600th birthday. Other notable businesses in the city include Kirow Ardelt AG, world leader in breakdown cranes. There are also many cultural institutions, including the renowned MDR, Germany's largest public broadcaster. Leipzig is home to its own symphony orchestra and ballet.
The city has a number of historic buildings. The Continental Reformed Church and Russian Church are prominent on the Innercity ring. The city is known for its large parks. Leipziger Auwald, a riparian forest within city limits, is a popular attraction. The city also has a number of historic monasteries. The Franciscan monastery of Barfuss is named after the street, and the Jacobskirche is located near the Ranstadter Steinweg.
During the transition period, the city faced profound structural changes. It underwent significant suburbanization and shrinkage processes. Today, Leipzig is one of Germany's fastest-growing cities. By 2030, its population is projected to reach 600-650 thousand people, up from only a few hundred thousand in the early 2000s. These rapid population growth has triggered a variety of issues, including increased traffic, environmental effects, and space allocation.
