Berlin, Germany – November 12, 2025 — Berlin’s Senate has introduced a new online platform enabling residents of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg to actively participate in shaping housing reforms set for 2026. The pilot, which opened for public input on 12 November, features interactive surveys and real-time feedback tools designed to foster transparent dialogue between citizens and policymakers. Senator Lena Richter praised the initiative, stating, “This marks a significant step towards collaborative urban governance.” Local community groups have welcomed the move, highlighting its potential to strengthen trust and inclusivity in decision-making. If successful, officials plan to expand the platform citywide, aiming for broader engagement in future policy development.
