Mayor Lauxmann in the neighborhood café: Ideas for Kornwestheim!

Kornwestheim, Deutschland - In Kornwestheim, the signs are on encounter and exchange. Mayor Nico Lauxmann visited the neighborhood café in the resident and family center (BFZ) in Salamanderstrasse today. This meeting, which takes place every Thursday in the morning, has set itself the task of offering the residents of the western city a place of dialogue. In a relaxed atmosphere, citizens come together to discuss their concerns and take part in various offers. As the Stuttgarter Nachrichten reports, there are topics such as cleanliness in the city public green spaces and accessibility in the focus.

Lauxmann emphasizes the great importance of open communication between the city administration and its citizens. "We have to hear what moves people," said Lauxmann. The BFZ not only offers space for discussions, but also numerous events that are attractive for all age groups. This includes open meetings for children, special groups for girls and boys as well as creative offers for adults and seniors. The offer ranges from coffee wreaths to cinema afternoons and holiday programs. The BFZ employees are available for more information; The City of Kornwestheim offers comprehensive insights into the various projects and events.

social analysis and projects

Another important project is "we in the neighborhood", which deals with social components and the needs of the citizens. For this purpose, a social space analysis is carried out in order to take a closer look at appearances, infrastructure and social offers. This helps to promote cross -generational offers and age -appropriate living. The project is financed by the "Quarters impulses" program of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Integration Baden-Württemberg and aims to improve the quality of life of the citizens in the pilot quarters south of the Salamander town park. On kornwestheim.de there are further details about these initiatives.

In the context of the analysis, over 3,500 citizens were interviewed, with remarkable 73 % information to feel good in Kornwestheim. Nevertheless, the results show a challenge: 19 % of those surveyed feel restricted in their mobility and 18 % are looking for new living space, especially due to accessibility issues. These findings should not only be useful for the current quarters, but can also be transferred to other areas of the city.

integration and social cohesion

The importance of integration and social cohesion is becoming increasingly important - and not only in large cities. As the Federal Ministry of Living, Urban Development and Building emphasizes in its “Social Cohesion” program, it is crucial to create meeting rooms that serve to exchange ideas between people of different origins. The support of the federal government aims to improve living conditions in different quarters, so that everyone has the opportunity to get involved and shape their environment. More information about the funding programs can be found on the website of bmwsb .

In Kornwestheim it becomes clear how important it is that all generations and different cultures come into conversation and support each other. The initiatives in the BFZ and the urban projects are a step in the right direction and show which good hands the city administration has in strengthening and promoting social structures.
