Christoph Thoma emphasizes that such anniversaries can serve as catalysts for future -oriented urban development. It is important that citizens are actively involved in planning and implementation. Participatory approaches such as workshops and public forums can strengthen the sense of community and promote the identification of citizens with their city.

For the successful implementations of the anniversary celebrations, a clear structure and a well thought -out communication plan is of great importance. Here it is important to pin out goals in advance, to establish budgets and to secure resources. Political acceptance also plays a central role in ensuring the necessary commitment of various actors.
