    The University of Westminster and the Technical University of Munich will analyse data collected via Commonplace for the purposes of academic research. You can follow the publication of the research findings at: https://www.ex-tra-project.eu/blog. The EX-TRA project will inform the City of Munich about the survey responses that reflect Munich citizens’ perspectives; however, the City will make its own separate decision about the future of Piazza Zenetti and Holzplatz.
