The definition of an urban redevelopment area forms the urban, legal and financial framework for measures to enhance the urban development in the area's scenery as well as for the necessary process support and control.

Approx. 2 408 inhabitants live in the area (as of 2018). The definition of the area has a duration of 15 years. The urban redevelopment area surrounding the Spreekanal comprises the Spreekanal as well as adjacent bank reinforcements and bank areas extending beyond it, in which construction measures are to be implemented taking into account the interests of monument conservation and urban planning. The basis for the definition of the area is the urban development concept for the activation of the Spreekanal presented by Flussbad Berlin at the end of 2018. The association Flussbad Berlin e. V. has further developed the civil society supported idea and presented a preferential variant, which includes the entire Spreekanal and 3 measure areas.
