Who initiated the project and why?

The residential area was purchased in 2006 by the „Hoch Tief Construction AG“.

However, the existing buildings of the former Mormon settlement in Bad Vilbel corresponds not to

modern forms of accommodation and will be replaced in this context by a new housing development.

On request of the investor, the town of Bad Vilbel wrote out the development plan.

By the establishment of a development plan an orderly development of the urban area should be enabled.

The public participation was conducted during the construction planning procedures.

Public participation and public disclosure of the development plan for a period of one month.

The public should be extensive informed of the proposed plan and its potential impact(level of informing =lowest degree of public participation).

Author´s personal statement

I am sure that the acceptance by the citizens of Bad Vilbel would have been greater if the Enlightenment, Codetermination and public participation had been operated on a larger scale than only the formal procedure of the german Building Code.
