"Nine Greens' responses: Advocating for a collectively owned urban space"

In the upcoming municipal election on September 14, the Green Party in Bergisch Gladbach has outlined its plans for creating a more inclusive, sustainable, and livable city.

The Greens are advocating for modern communal living forms, such as multigenerational housing and inclusion projects, and promoting the establishment of housing cooperatives. They aim to create a city where no one is discriminated against or forgotten, offering equal rights in traffic, better accessibility of administration, and places where everyone is welcome. This vision encompasses good education and care, offers for young and old, affordable housing, and integration.

To address housing affordability, the Greens plan to create a new neighborhood on the Zanders site, with a target of 30% subsidized housing in new projects. Additionally, they propose densifying existing neighborhoods to create additional housing without sealing new areas.

The Greens also aim to enable good and affordable housing by promoting the construction of energy-efficient, affordable housing with social housing quotas, using sustainable materials, and preventing real estate speculation through regulations.

In terms of leisure and personal development opportunities, the Greens are committed to securing opening hours, staff, and offers at youth centers and senior meeting places. They also aim to strengthen sports clubs and open sports and action areas for more movement spaces in the afternoon and on weekends.

The Greens' vision for the cityscape includes supporting green urban planning that increases green spaces, improves pedestrian zones, and integrates ecological building standards to create more livable urban environments. They also promote the expansion of renewable energy use, increasing energy efficiency standards, enhancing waste recycling, and protecting local biodiversity for climate protection.

Furthermore, the Greens support multigenerational parks and meeting cafes to ensure all people in their city have spaces for participation, leisure, and exchange. They also strengthen welcome initiatives, facilitate access to language courses, and promote local integration through encounter, participation, and cooperation in the city districts.

Lastly, the Greens advocate for fair intake and good accommodation of refugees, with forward-thinking expansion of accommodations to ensure sports halls are not used for housing again.
