Mainz city center monitoring provides information on the development of industries, vacancies, and new retail spaces in Mainz city center. Changes are thus observed and evaluated so that appropriate and timely action can be taken if necessary. The survey is conducted annually in July/August. The current report can be found below under "Further information."

The establishment of retail outlets requires careful planning and consideration of urban planning conditions. On behalf of the Office for Urban Research and Sustainable Urban Development, well-founded studies are regularly conducted on this topic, including the center concept for the city of Mainz. The integrated development concept
for the city center is also relevant for the attractive and future-oriented design of Mainz's city center.

An overview of current surveys and concepts can be found below.
