After the excavation site lies what?
The Rhine-Kreis Neuss has announced a significant initiative to reimagine the future of the region following the end of open-pit brown coal mining. The district, which is scheduled to cease mining activities by 2030, eight years earlier than previously planned, has enlisted the services of Gruppe F: Freiraum für Alle GmbH, a Berlin planning office, to develop a comprehensive Space Concept.
The main driver behind this decision is climate protection, as scientists believe that the cessation of mining will contribute to slowing down global warming due to reduced carbon dioxide emissions.
The Space Concept, a common term for land use or spatial development plans in similar circumstances, typically encompasses ecological restoration, creation of recreational spaces, infrastructure development, and new economic uses such as tourism or renewable energy. However, at present, specific details about Rhine-Kreis Neuss's plans are not widely available.

This non-spam service offers in-depth information about social developments, culinary arts, art, and culture in Neuss. To confirm your subscription, check your inbox or spam folder.
The public participation process for the Space Concept is open until June 15, 2022. Ideas and wishes submitted during this period will be incorporated into the space concept. Details about public events and online participation can be found on the Rhine-Kreis Neuss's homepage and social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
After the concept is finalised, it is expected to be available in spring 2023. The upcoming years will undoubtedly bring about significant changes in the economy and society of the affected area, and this Space Concept will play a crucial role in shaping the region's future.
As the Rhine-Kreis Neuss embarks on this transformative journey, the district invites everyone to join in, share their thoughts, and contribute to the creation of a sustainable and vibrant future for Neuss.
