Amberg discusses: Citizens' initiative against brutal architecture in the old town

The city of Amberg has now officially commented on the points raised therein.
On July 26, 2021, the Amberg city council unanimously decided to approve the citizens' initiative “No brutal architecture in the historic old town”. This citizens' initiative was initiated by a group of citizens who spoke out against the continuation of the Amberg 155 “Citizens Hospital Area II” development plan process. Their goal was to initiate a new procedure that would provide for a participatory process involving urban planners who specialize in monument and climate protection.
