Citizens' Assembly 2025
In the summer of 2025, the third Aachen Citizens’ Council convened to address the central question: “Balanced Mobility in Aachen: How can we ensure that transportation policy decisions take into account the needs of all road users? What specific measures are effective in fostering balanced coexistence?” Following an inspiring kick-off event on July 14, 2025, the members of the council worked through three intensive days—on June 21, June 28, and July 5—under the expert facilitation of the Zebralog participation office and with valuable input from experts. The goal was to develop ten concrete and actionable recommendations based on the comprehensive topic of balanced mobility in Aachen.
The result of this dedicated collaboration is a report that not only includes recommendations but also presents numerous innovative ideas and cross-cutting issues. The Citizens’ Council’s proposals show how Aachen’s transportation policy can become fairer, more sustainable, and more livable in the future. They range from digital services and innovative approaches to cycling and car traffic to new initiatives for public transit.
Below, we present the progress made on the ten recommendations, as well as some highlights from the Citizens’ Assembly’s working sessions.
