Porz blooms on: Citizens' ideas for a greener Cologne wanted!
Porz, Deutschland - Cologne, the city on the Rhine, is actively committed to a greener and more lively cityscape. The “Stadtgrün” program has been running for two years, which aims to strengthen the green system in Cologne, and has a historical background that goes back to Mayor Konrad Adenauer over 100 years ago. More and more people in Cologne are asked to bring in their ideas for new green areas, because the city council has decided to secure both existing green areas and to create new ones. Radio Cologne reports.
The measures aim to not only enhance the city ecologically, but also to offer more leisure opportunities for Cologne citizens and to contribute to the cooling of heat -lit -asserted urban areas. An online dialogue is currently underway in the Porz district, in which citizens can submit their suggestions by July 14th. These ideas will then be further developed on September 27 in workshops in the Porz district council. In addition, the program is designed in such a way that it will be completed in two years with a specific plan for every district.
The master plan Stadtgrün
As part of the city green program, the Masterplan Stadtgrün was also developed, which is a fundamental strategy for the green and freedom in Cologne. It is intended to help secure the quality of life of the citizens and to strengthen the tradition of the city in the future. But not everything about this plan is flawless. The BUND Cologne determines that the plan adopted should have significant deficits and should be considered the first step. The total city is missing, and the necessary net/zero new seal is not sufficiently put in the foreground by 2030.
In particular, the field area in the Porz district is highlighted as a climate -active area that is crucial for climate protection and drinking water supply. The BUND Cologne calls for a detailed processing of the plan and a stronger consideration of protected areas as well as biotopes that are extremely important for biological diversity.
The challenges of the city
In order to meet the challenges of climate change and the growth of the city, long -term and strategic planning is required. The master plan city green is a central component of this planning. From 2023, extensive studies are planned in the districts in order to better supply green areas in particular.
Possible measures include sustainable planting and care concepts, the creation of flower strips, natural experience rooms, mini-index and infiltration options. The aim is to link the ecosystem services of the urban freedom and the large -scale green infrastructure.Cologne is located in the middle of a change that must be actively shaped not only by the city administration, but also by the citizens. Every proposal counts - and in the end the result could be a green, lively Cologne that offers a place for both people and nature.
