Followingthe mine lies the path ahead

In the heart of the Rhenish mining district, Rhine-Kreis Neuss is preparing for a significant transformation as open-pit brown coal mining is set to end eight years earlier than initially planned by 2030 [1]. This shift marks the beginning of a new era, with the focus on redeveloping former mining areas into sustainable commercial, recreational, and ecological spaces [3].

To ensure a smooth and inclusive transition, public participation is at the forefront. Apart from online participation opportunities, there will be events offering chances for the public to engage in the planning process [2]. These events may include public consultations, information sessions, workshops, and forums where ideas and preferences can be shared [3].

Staying informed about these social, cultural, and artistic developments in Neuss has never been easier. The free newsletter, available via email subscription, provides in-depth information on these topics [4]. Subscribing is simple and free, and you'll find the subscription link on the Rhine-Kreis Neuss homepage or their social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram [5].

For those who subscribe, the newsletter serves as a reliable source of updates and insights on Neuss's transformation journey [6]. It's important to note that the newsletter focuses solely on Neuss, ensuring you receive local, relevant information [7].

To maintain transparency and privacy, more information about the newsletter can be found in the privacy policy [8]. Rest assured, the newsletter does not send spam and your subscription requires confirmation in your inbox or spam folder [9].

The space concept itself is expected to be available in spring 2023 [10]. For the latest updates and participation opportunities, keep an eye on Rhine-Kreis Neuss's official local government websites and announcements from the Zukunftsagentur Rheinisches Revier, which manages the regional transformation [3].

By actively participating in this process, you can help shape the post-mining spatial development and contribute to a sustainable and socially accepted future for Neuss.
