Community-led nature and green space projects are expanding across various German cities. In Berlin and Castrop-Rauxel, initiatives focus on ecological education and animal welfare, such as the ‘Wachsenlassen’ community garden and the NaBeBa nature farm, which recently relocated to ensure its future growth.

Further developments in urban planning include the introduction of ‘PikoParks’ in Karlsruhe, which utilize climate-resilient plants to support biodiversity. Additionally, Brühl is opening the ‘Stadtpark Ost’ on a former industrial wasteland, integrating historical factory elements with modern recreational facilities and a ‘Green Classroom’ for residents.
