Participation portal City of Karlsruhe
What does the participation portal offer?
On the City of Karlsruhe’s citizen participation portal, citizens have the opportunity to find out about and participate in municipal participation projects, share experiences and suggestions for the development of their city and district with others, or ask questions to the Lord Mayor.
In addition, the portal announces the dates of municipal events where citizens can obtain information and participate locally. The overview of completed projects also makes it possible to retrace previous decisions.

Geoportal
Geoportal Karlsruhe: The digital map information system
Geodata is digital information that can be assigned a specific spatial location on the earth’s surface. Services and applications with geodata are provided via a geoportal so that this diverse information can be accessed in the form of background maps, points of interest (POIs) and thematic maps and specialist plans. The City of Karlsruhe offers various applications as web apps that automatically adapt to the display of the respective device. This means they can be used via the Internet browser on all standard desktop PCs, tablets and smartphones.

Easy login with your smartphone, any mobile device or from your desktop. Then enter the message via an online form and send it off.
Transparency portal
Transparency portal of the city of Karlsruhe
The City of Karlsruhe makes open data and documents available for free use via the transparency portal. However, it not only fulfills the function of an open data portal, but also that of a freedom of information register. For example, appraisals commissioned by the city are automatically published above a certain value. According to the city, corresponding regulations are currently being prepared. The administration in Karlsruhe already publishes a wide range of documents and data in its statistical atlas and geodata portal, for example.
The publications from existing portals should be linked in the transparency portal so that they can be found from there when searching.
