Youth participation in the future of Munich’s city center

The city of the future is shaped by the planning decisions we make today. How do young people envision city centers and what issues concern them in their everyday lives? A youth participation event organized by the City of Munich in spring 2023 not only provided valuable insights into the perspectives of young Munich residents on their city. New digital participation formats were also tested.

DIPAS navigator: Digital citizen participation in Hamburg

The DIPAS navigator makes all of Hamburg’s public participation processes that have been and are being carried out with the Digital Participation System (DIPAS) visible on a central website. DIPAS navigator provides key figures and statistics at a city-wide level and at the same time allows users to delve into individual public participation processes for spatial planning procedures.

Munich Climate Neutral 2035: Solutions for the development of integrated neighborhood concepts

The development and implementation of measures for climate-neutral, energy- and resource-efficient urban development ideally takes place at neighborhood level in existing buildings. In future, a development tool will be used in Munich to make the preparation and creation of integrated neighborhood concepts more efficient and transparent, thus facilitating the implementation phase.

“FairCare Verkehr”: Second real-life experiment on digital tools for a barrier-free city

With the “FairCare Verkehr” project, the CityScienceLab drew attention to the mobility needs of unpaid care workers. The second real-life experiment in the CUT project focused on the mobility of carers who look after physically or mentally impaired people. Information on barriers in urban spaces was collected using the mobile version of the Urban Data Collector.

Digital Participation System DIPAS – Engaging in dialogue with the help of maps and geodata

The Digital Participation System (DIPAS) is an advanced open source solution that enables citizen participation both online and on site without media discontinuity. Developed by the Hamburg Ministry for Urban Development and Housing in cooperation with the State Office for Geoinformation and Surveying and the City Science Lab at HafenCity University Hamburg, DIPAS seamlessly integrates geodata and fits into existing urban IT ecosystems. This makes it a useful tool for cities and municipalities that want to effectively involve their citizens in planning processes.
