 In the late 1980s, Aarhus city council decided to place a new congress- and hotel center next to the Aarhus Concert Hall.The project was meant to revitalize the area around the concert hall, the river valley by Aarhus River and the old residential neighborhood "Mølleengen" but large parts of the project was never completed.Not until 15-20 years later, after the construction of the ARoS Aarhus Art Museum and the start of the redevelopment of Godsbanen into a culture center, did the area become more used.
