Anyone interested in architecture, neighborhood development, sustainable urban planning, or the future of Cologne-Neubrück will gain a compact and well-founded insight into the further process that evening.

The venue is the auditorium at the Ostheim School Center in Cologne-Ostheim. Access is via the entrance on Herkenrathweg. According to the city of Cologne, the entrance area is fully accessible for wheelchair users, disabled parking is available, and the restrooms are also barrier-free. This makes the event easily accessible for visitors with mobility restrictions.

Background on the process
