Venlo MaasboulevardSWOT 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?
