GoWEST with Tram 5 – citizen dialogue in the "project augsburg city"

Abstract

Determined minimum requirements for citizen participation in planning procedures are increasingly insufficient to achieve acceptance among the affected persons. In an area that is sensitive in urban development terms, the city of Augsburg has therefore preceded the necessary determination procedure of a plan for a new tram line with a moderated citizen dialogue. In this context, the extension of public transport is pursued in an integrated approach with a fundamental revaluation of public space.
