New initiative for more security and cleanliness in downtown Mainz

The development of a busy city center is a challenge for many cities. In Mainz there is the quality of stay in the city center, especially in the area between Neubrunnenplatz and Kaufhof, especially in the focus. Here business owners took the initiative to actively work on improving the situation.

new initiative to increase attractiveness

The foundation of the association "Initiative Neue Mainzer Mitte e.V." is an important step for merchants who have been standing up for upgrading their quarter for a long time. Among the founding members are well -known retailers such as Galeria Kaufhof, represented by branch manager Torsten Aussem, as well as the managing directors of the "Mali & Milo" restaurant. Together they strive to create a better environment for citizens and visitors.

The meaning of a round table

By creating a round table for the inner city actors, the retailers hope to bundle their concerns and to carry them out effectively to the city administration. It also describes it as a proven model that coordinates concerns from a neighborhood and then presented to the city or other decision -makers. These include, for example, representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK), the trade association, city policy and local public transport (public transport).

claims to the city administration

A central concern of the dealers is the improvement of security, cleanliness and order in the city center. It becomes clear that more commitment from the city would be desirable to increase the attractiveness of the district. The business owners emphasize that the upgrading of places and streets in cooperation with local retailers and restaurateurs can be designed more effectively because they are on site and have the best knowledge of the needs of their customers.

challenges before implementation

Before the association was founded, it was not possible for the city to provide funds for the upgrading, since they could not be distributed to a community of interests. However, when the association was founded, new opportunities arose to apply for financial resources that can be used for improvement measures in coordination with the city.

perspectives for the future

The expectations of the actors are high. They demand that the city center are designed more attractive - by installing plants, modern seating and better waste disposal to improve the sight of the streets. The diversity of retail and gastronomy in Mainz is said to be strengthened to lure even more people into the city center.

The new initiative and the associated efforts could be a decisive turn for the city center of Mainz. An active participation by the business owners could not only lead to upgrading the quarter, but also strengthen the community and create a more pleasant environment for everyone.
