Integrated urban development concept Merseburg

Identifying and addressing the needs and concerns of citizens

The city of Merseburg has decided to update its integrated urban development concept - the ISEK 2030. In doing so, it wants to take into account the complexity of the transformation processes it faces as well as the diversity of living situations and concerns of its citizenry and urban society.

The special feature: The city does not want to have the IUDC developed by a classic planning office alone, but relies on a professional cooperation with inter 3 and the office BSQB, which promotes a model-based IUDC development and broad acceptance with the innovation management tools.

Innovation management supports active involvement of city administration and city society

Based on the existing urban monitoring data and existing technical and spatial concepts, the tasks include:

• data evaluation and analysis and derivation of options for action in coordination with the departments of the city administration,
• Implementation and documentation of the mission statement process,
• Analysis and evaluation of previous neighborhood developments and urban development measures on this basis, as well as
• recommendations on suitable urban development measures to achieve the urban development policy goals and take advantage of funding opportunities,
• an executive workshop of the city administration lasting several days as well as several events for citizen participation.

The aim is to think together the complex transformation requirements in a consistent manner and to approach them pragmatically in such a way that a goal-oriented, broadly accepted IUDC emerges that addresses the future challenges and makes successful management possible.
