Located between Sonnenallee, Karl-Marx-Strasse, Neukölln Town Hall and Hermannplatz, the neighborhood or public space is of importance for the district and beyond and has to fulfill a wide variety of functions for various users. Fluctuation and high rents continue to characterize the neighborhood. In this context, building functioning neighborhoods is particularly challenging.

One focus of neighborhood development is on the field of education, training and youth. The support and cooperation with various educational institutions is to be continued in the coming years. The aim is to further improve the educational situation in the Donaukiez. Due to the profile and image of the schools in the area, many parents consciously choose other educational institutions. The increasing problem of segregation and socio-spatial emigration must be addressed and counteracted in the future so that joint and inclusive learning is open to all children. In perspective, the Donaustraße-Nord area should develop into a bicycle and environmentally friendly quarter and offer green and recreational areas for residents. Furthermore, we work together with the people in the area to create an open meeting place for the neighborhood in order to strengthen social cohesion, the sense of community and neighborly exchange. Life in the Donaukiez should remain colorful and culturally diverse. The social and cultural mix is ​​preserved, people in the area take responsibility for their neighborhood and shape their living space together.
