As part of participatory neighborhood development processes, the long-term development prospects for each neighborhood are developed in collaboration with local residents. The Office for Urban Research and Sustainable Urban Development coordinates and organizes these processes in consultation with the local advisory councils and relevant administrative departments.

Through a collaborative process of brainstorming and discussion, the long-term development prospects are identified and translated into concrete measures for implementation. In addition to residents, local political representatives and institutions are also involved.

Following a resolution by the Mainz-Finthen Local Council (see “Further Information”), the focus will be on the future development of the Finthen neighborhood. Under the title “Finthen Fit for the Future,” public engagement events will be held for Finthen residents and community organizations. These events will be facilitated by an external consulting firm. The goal is to discuss and develop future developments and development opportunities for the district.

Mainz-Finthen

Two facilitated public engagement events are planned for interested residents of Mainz-Finthen. The aim is to gather suggestions and identify key priorities for the development of Finthen’s town center. In addition, children, young people, clubs, and other groups will be involved in separate events.

This public engagement initiative is scheduled to begin in late 2026 or early 2027.

Currently not quantifiable.

Discussions have already taken place with the local mayor. In addition, the public participation plan was presented to the Mainz-Finthen Local Council. Preparations for the project’s implementation are currently underway.
