SEKo monitoring report Chemnitz 2018
The SEKo Monitoring Report 2018 is an interim report for the observation period 2007 to 2016. It describes relevant framework conditions in Chemnitz and reviews the quality of target achievement for the objectives formulated in SEKo 2020.
On 24 October 2018, the Chemnitz City Council took note of the SEKo Monitoring Report 2018.
Occasion and goal
The SEKo Monitoring Report Chemnitz 2018 was compiled as an interim report for the period 2007 to 2016 on the basis of the stipulations in the SEKo 2020 of November 2009 and subsequent resolutions of the City Council.
The task and objective of the SEKo monitoring report is to review and evaluate the achievement of the goals of integrative urban development formulated in SEKo 2020 at a city-wide and sub-regional level.
Procedure and methodology
The SEKo monitoring report first describes the development of the demographic, economic and social framework conditions in Chemnitz over the last 10 years. The quality of the achievement of the objectives set out in the SEKo 2020 for many areas of urban life is examined by analysing the development of selected qualitative indicators. The "traffic light of target achievement" is used for a final brief assessment. The results are rounded off by trend-setting project examples from recent years from all residents' assembly areas in the city.
The report also identifies new topics, objectives and priorities for action with regard to future urban development. The basis for this is the evaluation of updated and new specialised concepts as well as the survey and participation of internal and external stakeholders and decision-makers.
The monitoring report serves as a building block for updating the SEKo 2020.
