Common fear generates common action

[Normally you would need] a catastrophe that unites the people. But that is not really necessary. Though the project, we had the chance to cooperate and to communicate that the people have one common interest: the common fear of a flood! We need to keep this in mind and we need people who pursue this. We had a strong mayor who was able to steer this process very well and who was also able to raise interest and to highlight common interests. This showed us the importance of acting in concert.
