In updating the Sports Development Plan, particular attention was paid to the individual city districts and the various target groups. Using a cooperative planning approach, interested citizens and stakeholders from clubs and associations, as well as representatives from the administration, politics, and academia, were involved in the development process related to sports, physical activity, and health. Measures were planned across three areas of action (sports facility management, sports in public spaces, and sports in the western part of the city). Implementation of the planned measures has been underway since September 2019. These efforts are being supported by working groups. Anyone can join at any time. In the first half of 2023, a workshop was held to outline the framework for further areas of action in “Sport for All.”
