The aim is to make the living environment more attractive by reducing impairments by through traffic and public space is made accessible to all people on an equal footing.

For several years, the district office has been trying to calm down in the Kungererkiez, which is finally due to a citizens' application from 2022. The district council has accepted this application and majority decided. District City Councilor Claudia Leistner for urban development, streets, green spaces and the environment emphasizes the importance of the project and is pleased with the approval of the funds.

The public on site and various specialist authorities are also included.

The creation of a livable and sustainable Kungererkiez for all residents is the declared goal of the project. With the approval of the funds, an important step is taken in this direction, and the tender for the development of the urban planning concept is now being promoted quickly.
