Correspondence of the birth stations: Future in Wurzen and Eilenburg uncertain!

Wurzen, Deutschland - In recent years, the birth rate in the cities of Wurzen and Eilenburg has changed significantly. The decline in birth rates presents the clinics with massive challenges, in particular with regard to the quality of care and economy.

Such projects are necessary because the living space in the region urgently requires modern and needs -based solutions.

Another step in the right direction is the planning of social housing in Schkeuditz by the United Leipzig housing cooperative eG. The focus is not only on over 30 existing apartments, which are expected to be renovated in 2025, but also ensure that rents for people with low income remain affordable. At a time when affordable living space is a problem in many cities, such an initiative is particularly important.
