Design with! Citizen participation for the future of Alexanderplatz

Zweibrücken faces an exciting challenge: How can Alexanderplatz, a central place in the city, be made more beautiful and inviting? The city administration therefore invites the population to actively participate in the design of the square. This is done as part of a citizen participation, which will take place on Friday, October 18, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The background of this initiative is located in a federal funding program under the title "Future -capable inner cities and centers". In the course of this program, the city has the opportunity to apply for funds to upgrade Alexanderplatz. In the past few months, the first proposals have already been drawn up, which are now presented to the Zweibrück citizens.

Citizen participation as an opportunity

The city sees Alexanderplatz as the "living room" of Zweibrücken, a place where numerous events such as weekly markets and Christmas markets traditionally take place. There is already a water feature and benches that invite you to linger. The idea behind the citizen participation is not to redesign the space from scratch, but to make loving additions that promote social interaction and make the place a real meeting point.

At the event on October 18, all Zweibrückers and local business operators are cordially invited to bring their ideas. The planners of the city administration and the Rittmannsperger office are available for discussions. During the event, small groups are led to four large transparent, on which possible new design elements are visualized. These include additional seating, more green areas and many other impulses that could enliven Alexanderplatz.

This citizen participation is a valuable opportunity to include the ideas and wishes of the population in the planning. It is expected that the suggestions of the citizens not only contribute to improving the space, but also strengthening community feeling and identification with the location. A large number of perspectives are crucial to create a place that meets the needs of all.

The city is looking forward to the feedback from the citizens and sees this open discussion a real opportunity to successfully modernize Alexanderplatz without losing its characteristic features. For interested parties, it is worthwhile to drop by on this day and use the opportunity to actively shape and improve your own environment.
