Landscape Democracy Rationale

  • Why do you think this community context is relevant from a landscape democracy perspective? What is your hypothesis considering the landscape democracy challenges?
  • Format: 3-4 sentences

The landscape is part of the community, as is the community part of the landscape. The community lives in the landscape, but is also shaped by it. Changes on either of them will also affect the other. Therefore it is important to include the people who live here in planning processes, so that they have a voice in it that they will stay active in its protection, conserving and maintaining it as best as they can as well.

  • Many investors and developers

In the past decades the district changed massively: The formerly rather rural area developed to a much sought-after business location with one of the lowest unemployment rates in Germany. Far more than 4,000 enterprises offer jobs to about 66,000 employees liable to contribute to social security. This is a clear indication for it that the medium-sized companies are the most important group of employers. The service providers are on top of the value creation chain. Three fourth of the economic performance are generated in trade, traffic and services, and only one percent is generated in agriculture. and the largest hop-growing area of the world Hallertau. The public hand correspondingly primarily invests in schools, facilities for children and elderly people as well as in the development of the public local traffic and streets.

The Freising community includes different social groups and stakeholders like local and external.
