Die Stadtkümmerei

Stadtkümmerei GmbH is a company that specializes in the integrated development of cities, neighborhoods, and places. With a comprehensive approach that combines in-depth analyses, innovative methods, and close collaboration with local communities, Stadtkümmerei works to create livable and sustainable urban spaces.

• Neighborhood Management: Stadtkümmerei operates on-site offices, such as the Neighborhood Management Harzer Straße, to involve the local population in the development of their neighborhood. These offices serve as contact points for citizen participation and self-organization[1][3].
• Citizen Participation: A central aspect of the work is citizen participation. The Lichtenberg Contact Point for Citizen Participation (LAB) supports citizens in initiating and organizing participation processes and offers extensive advice and networking opportunities[4].
• Sustainable Urban Development: Stadtkümmerei is involved in projects such as the Network of Edible Cities (EdiCitNet), which aims to make cities more livable and climate-friendly through initiatives like beekeeping, community gardens, and edible green facades[1].

The mission of Stadtkümmerei is to contribute to the development of cities through in-depth analyses and innovative methods. The focus is on working on-site, with the people and for the people. The company's values include promoting citizen participation, social integration, and improving the quality of life in urban spaces.

• Climate-Friendly City: Through projects within the EdiCitNet network, Stadtkümmerei works on measures that improve climatic conditions in cities while also enhancing the quality of life for residents[1].
• Social City: Stadtkümmerei builds support structures and promotes self-organization within communities. This is achieved by creating synergies and networking local actors[1][3].
• Citizen Participation and Self-Organization: The contact points for citizen participation, such as the LAB in Lichtenberg, enable citizens to actively participate in urban development and contribute their ideas and needs[4].
