Parking is now provided adjacent to the remaining occupied apartment buildings. Other improvements include the extension of the tram network to connect Halle Neustadt to other districts of the city of Halle (Saale) and the construction of several supermarkets and shopping centres which opened from 2000 onwards.

## Background (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, shortened)

Halle-Neustadt (German pronunciation: [ˈhalə ˈnɔʏʃtat] ), popularly known as HaNeu (pronounced [haːˈnɔʏ] , like Hanoi), was a city in the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). It was established as a new town on 12 May 1967, as an independent and autonomous city. The population in 1972 was 51,600 and in 1981 was more than 93,000. On 6 May 1990, Halle-Neustadt merged back into Halle again. The population has halved since then and was about 45,157 inhabitants on 31 December 2010.
The development itself extends east to west for approximately 4 kilometres (2+1⁄2 miles) and is approximately one kilometre (1,100 yards) wide.
