Urban development is understood in Dessau as a process for the public. The commitment of the public is one of the most important engines in urban redevelopment. The individual adoption of parcelled open spaces is part of this local strategy for new urban landscape which the citizens design and look after independently. As a result, citizen responsibility for urban development is activated and the city gains new types of open spaces as well.
