Three dialog formats and one question: Olympia – yes or no?
In November 2025, the City of Hamburg is launching a public dialog on the Olympics. We at Stadtmanufaktur have designed the three dialog formats for citizen participation – and will be on site at all events. Our tasks: organizing, moderating and facilitating open, critical and inclusive dialogue.
Here in the magazine, we share our impressions and the results of a total of fifteen events across the city. Our report on these three dialog formatsgrows with each week:
- Launch event at HafenCity University Hamburg
- Participation dialogs in all seven Hamburg districts
- Stakeholder events on business, culture and co.
In addition to the live events, Hamburg residents can take part in an online survey and contribute their ideas and suggestions.
Abstract:
The city of Hamburg wants to bid for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. One prerequisite for this is that Hamburg’s citizens vote for the bid in a referendum (on May 31, 2026).
In November 2025, Hamburg presents the Hamburg+ application concept and opens up to dialog with citizens. The idea is to incorporate the citizens’ feedback into the concept before the referendum, so that ideas and fears are heard and addressed.
All details on the project and the participation formats can be found on our project page on the Olympics in Hamburg.
