A new chapter for Mannheims city center! 🌱

Under the leadership of Petar Drakul, and with strong support from the #FutuRaum program and Germany’s Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building, Stadt Mannheim is making bold moves towards a sustainable and vibrant city.Under the motto “Mannheim gemeinsam gestalten” (Shaping Mannheim together), our downtown aims to transform: sealed surfaces are turned into green urban spaces, facades are covered in plants, and new trees and raised beds create fresh oases right in the center.Smart sensors provide environmental monitoring, barrier-free transitions improve accessibility for everyone, and other green areas are being completely renewed. Thanks to strong citizen participation and Petar Drakul’s dedicated coordination, these new cityscapes are not only beautiful but also forward-thinking places for residents and visitors of all ages.This project proves: climate resilience, quality of life, and innovation go hand in hand in Mannheim. With FutuRaum as a catalyst, the STYX hometown is setting new standards for what an attractive, inclusive, and vibrant city center can look like. 🏙️
