The guidelines for Marzahn are developed in a participatory process, both through internal workshops and public participation procedures. In the Room for Participation, the team informs and advises Steglitz citizens on all aspects of participation in district projects. In participation processes, it mediates between the administration or politics on the one hand and civil society and businesses on the other. In addition, intep provides expertise on methods and formats related to participation.
The projects promote the transparency of projects and opportunities for participation in the districts, enabling more people to engage in urban development. In this way, intep contributes significantly to contemporary, sustainable urban policy: according to the New Leipzig Charter, the core document of urban development policy in Europe, participation structures are essential for the sustainable transformation of cities and communities.
