Urban furniture tested: 1,400 citizens participated
As part of the "transform-R" , the city of Groß-Gerau has been testing new street furniture over the past few months to improve the quality of life in the city center . The trial was accompanied by participation campaigns and traffic surveys , in which more than 1,400 people participated. The results are now being presented and evaluated together with the residents.
Exchange on future issues in the city center
After a welcome address by Mayor Jörg Rüddenklau , the results of the participation formats will be presented. Participants will then be invited to contribute to three theme islands – on the following topics:
- Quality of stay,
- fair mobility for all and
- generation-appropriate urban design.
In addition to representatives from various municipal departments , experts from Goethe University Frankfurt and the Dortmund Planning Society , who provided scientific support for the project, are also on site. The goal is to gather ideas and perspectives on how to make Groß-Gerau's city center vibrant, safe, and sustainable .
