The procedure
The competitive dialogue that formed the basis for the master plan enabled the continuation of the open and transparent planning process that had already begun at the end of 2016 and invited citizens to participate. A total of around 3,000 people took part in ten events as part of the planning process for Oberbillwerder.
The competitive dialogue was conducted in two phases in accordance with the Public Procurement Ordinance (VgV): Phase 1 (qualification) and Phase 2 (in-depth review). The two-phase process began in autumn 2017 and ended in May 2018. Of the 34 planning teams that applied in the EU-wide competition, 12 met all the required criteria and were invited to the first dialogue phase. This began on 9 October 2017. This was followed by two public presentation and discussion events and two public planning workshops. Citizens had the opportunity to comment on the designs and formulate suggestions and requests in various formats.
