Municipal Zoning and Planning
Resilentsy worked with the municipality of Flawil to develop three scenarios for the future local planning of Flawil. These were discussed and finalized in a participatory process with the population. The project is supported by the Federal Office for Housing as a reference project in the housing sector.
Process
Challenge
The municipality of Flawil wanted to make its local planning sustainable and actively involve the population. The aim was to develop the town center in a sustainable manner and ensure quality of life for all generations.
Traveling Exhibition
To raise awareness of the challenges and possible solutions, the exhibition “10-Minute Neighborhoods” was held both at the train station and in front of the municipal building.
Guided Walk
During a guided walk, participants took a closer look at what is working well in the community today and where there is still room for improvement.
Panel Discussion
A panel discussion with representatives from the municipality, canton, and local population focused on the question of where Flawil should go from here.
Informed participation
In Flawil, we used the informed participation process. This means that the population was first given comprehensive information and introduced to the initial situation. We then presented three possible scenarios for the development of Flawil. These scenarios served as a basis for discussion and joint consideration of opportunities and challenges.
It was important to note that this was not a wish list, but a structured negotiation process. Participants were able to contribute their perspectives, identify priorities, and jointly reflect on which developments were viable and realistic for Flawil.
