The focus is on the evaluation of a broad-based citizen participation processin which the residents of Griesheim were actively involved in the development of their town center. "People should feel comfortable in the town center – that's why we developed concrete measures together," said Anouk Kaltenbach from the Citizen Participation Coordination Office. A total of 40 measures were evaluated online, and the results are now being presented to the public.
