Jointly developing and refining new measures
Once the GD:B strategy has been adopted, the first measures will be implemented by the end of 2023. As a learning strategy, it also defines a procedure for developing new measures for Berlin on a participatory basis and incorporating these into the GD:B strategy. The Arena of Ideas on mein.berlin.de offers all actors within the urban community the opportunity to contribute ideas, discuss them and refine them further based on the strategy. It creates visibility for the diversity of ideas generated within Berlin’s urban community and provides a common platform for Smart City Berlin actors.
Actors can take responsibility for the ideas they bring to the table and are networked with each other according to their skills and expertise. This allows similar ideas to be merged and worked on jointly in consortia. The Arena of Ideas also enables people to raise challenges within the urban community so as to be able to develop solutions collaboratively. Proposals can come from all interested stakeholders, whether civil society, startups and SMEs, or research institutions. Measures are selected taking into account the criteria developed based on the values compass of the strategy.
The main language of the Arena of Ideas is German.
