participation projects and mobility

The room for participation acts as an interface between the district administration, local politics, initiatives and the population. The aim of the project is to create structures of participation, to make administrative action more transparent and to improve the flow of information between the public and administration. The kiosk concept "Kieze, kiosks, competencies!" Is a central component and is supported by a team who is on the move with a cargo bike between the neighborhoods to offer materials and information on site. This initiative aims to create an offer that is designed by and for the people in the neighborhood.

The materials, including folding tables, cardboard stools and playful elements, are made available to the contributors to promote participation. The kiosk locations thus act as visible places for encounters and investments without disturbing the ongoing gastronomic operation of the kiosks. The concept, which was launched on June 25, 2024 by a decision by the district, promises a large number of offers that take place over several days.

publicly accessible information

Further information about the events and the exact program process are available on the website of the room for participation and the associated Instagram channel. Interested parties can also find out more about the various kiosk locations and their offers. More details on the concept and the goals of citizen participation can be found in a comprehensive participation concept that is accessible online.

Overall, this series of events will offer a valuable opportunity to actively participate in the design of your own neighborhood and to establish networks. Through this initiative, those responsible hope that this initiative will have a stronger involvement of citizens and a better understanding of the municipal processes.
