Overview of urban development

Urban development encompasses all processes and measures aimed at determining how the city of Rodgau should develop in the future.

Urban development vs. urban planning

In contrast to urban planning, which is primarily concerned with building law and construction issues, urban development looks at many different areas of life. It thus combines economic, ecological and social issues.

Urban development issues

  • What does our city need?
  • What makes them special?
  • Where should it develop?
  • How do we create attractive public spaces?
  • How can climate protection and quality of life be harmonised?

Urban development is a long-term and dynamic process that involves many different stakeholders, including politicians, businesses and citizens.

Tasks

The central tasks include

  • Management and coordination of the city's overall development
  • Coordination of different measures for a meaningful interaction
  • Work on a common, strategic orientation

Another important component is citizen participation, because urban development should happen together with the people. This makes participation simple, direct and accessible to everyone via the participation platform.

Projects

In addition, Urban Development is responsible for coordinating a number of projects, such as the "Zuhause im Zentrum" development programme or the development of the new "Rodgau West" residential area, in each of which a wide variety of stakeholders and areas work together.

Inner city development strategy

The city of Rodgau is currently developing an internal development strategy to make better and more targeted use of existing areas within the urban area, while also taking factors such as climate and infrastructure into account.

Existing potential should be activated and vibrant, sustainable neighbourhoods created. Internal development means more than just redensification - it is about the qualitative further development of existing structures in the sense of sustainable and resource-saving growth.

In order to develop a holistic approach, the strategy is developed across all departments.

The citizens' perspective also plays an important role and is taken into account in the inner city development strategy. The aim is to create a strategy that takes into account the numerous aspects as well as the feel-good factor of the citizens living in Rodgau.

Citizen participation

The city has launched a participation platform to gather and collate opinions, ideas and perspectives from the public. Take part and tell us what moves you. We look forward to your contributions.
