An appointment with real family relevance

For families, this offers an exciting behind-the-scenes look at neighborhood development. The current planning stages and the next steps for the construction projects will be presented. Particularly important: Children and young people have already contributed their ideas and wishes during participation campaigns, and these suggestions will indeed flow into the further planning. This makes the event a valuable learning experience around co-determination, urban design, and a shared family experience.
