Revitalisierungsprobleme ostdeutscher Innenstädte - Das Beispiel der Erreichbarkeit des Zentrums von Halle (Saale)

In the nineties the revitalization of the center of the city of Halle (Saale) (Saxony- Anhalt) has been delayed by accessibility problems. The author uses the data of an empirical investigation in 2004 consisting of interviews with people in the street (N = 1 492) to check if this problematic situation is still existing. The results show ameliorations especially for persons using an automobile to reach the city center. Problems of accessibility tend to be rather low-rated on the list of urgent inner city problems. In comparison with several West German cities the city center of Halle still attracts a relative low proportion of persons living in the suburbs and the surrounding region.
