Focus on public services

Public services are of great importance to the city of Munich. This includes essential services such as:Drinking water supply, theEnergy supply, thepublic transport networkand theEducational institutions. These services are mainly provided by municipal companies. As the Social Democrats emphasize, the rejection of privatization in these areas is a central concern. Negative examples from Germany and Europe show that such steps are often accompanied by higher prices and lower quality. The city government wants to think long-term and thus ensure the quality of services instead of chasing short-term financial profits.

The Munich municipal utility, a prime example of municipal action, is investing several billion euros in renewable energies, local transport and the expansion of fiber optic networks. The goal is to cover all electricity requirements by 2025Green electricityto cover. The municipal utilities contribute over 250 million euros to the city budget every year - a sign of the economic strength of these municipal institutions.

Smart city and digitalization

Another exciting aspect is digital public services. Stadtwerke München is working to ensure that in the future citizens will not only have a reliable energy and water supply, but also access to modern telecommunications services and fast internet connections. Digitalization brings with it numerous advantages, such as easier communication with authorities or more convenient ticket purchases for public transport, but it also brings with it challenges in terms of data protection.

Citizens increasingly want digital options so that they can deal with their concerns quickly and easily. Here too, municipal companies are required to remain rooted locally and to prioritize data protection. Ultimately, the quality of life in Munich should be maintained and improved through innovative solutions. This shows once again how important strong municipal services are.

The “Be there for Munich” action day not only offers the opportunity to find out more about public services, but also to find out how community engagement and modern technologies go hand in hand to make Munich an even better city to live in.
