Venlo Maasboulevard eye to eye with the Maas attract more visitors and investment improve the cities image create attractive public spaces
Venlo Maasboulevard eye to eye with the Maas shopping center (21.500 m²) underground parking garage (550 parking lots) 17-storey residential block with 155 flats expansion of the Maasport theatre hotel with 100 rooms public park (9000 m²) Marina pedestrian bridge over the old dock bars and restaurants
Venlo Maasboulevard SWOT analysis strength: close to the historical city centre, German hinterland with many potential customers and visitors weakness: bad image of the city related to drugs tourism, less attractive urban environment opportunity: chance for upgrading the whole city centre, combine different functions like living, shopping, leisure and working threat: competion with the cities in the Rhine-Ruhr-area, will the investment really attract more people?
