In addition to educational policy issues, the development of school sites in Frankfurt is particularly shaped by the city´s highly densified urban space. Challenges also arise from the expansion of all-day school operation and the associated expansion of services. The mutual use of school and neighborhood-related resources is already established in many places. Frankfurt schools and daycare centers are active players in the direct and extended urban environment.

Schoolyards and sports facilities are an essential factor, as they take up considerable space. The planning framework for sports and open spaces in schools defines the required qualities and quantities at Frankfurt school sites for future planning processes and at the same time opens up the space for options and specific solutions for schools.

The development of the planning framework is designed as a participation process in order to map the diverse perspectives and to achieve a viable tool for concrete application in the planning process.
