How does integrated urban development work? By sharing knowledge. Because: Urban development policy lives from exchange and networking.
With our different event formats, we offer a platform to exchange ideas on current challenges and to inspire with exemplary ideas. We make the city - together.
The annual federal congresses are the central forum for urban development policy in Germany.
Since the creation of the National Urban Development Policy in 2007, they have become one of its most important building blocks. A broad expert public will discuss the content, goals and current issues of urban development policy. In addition, new ideas and approaches are presented on the basis of exemplary projects and procedures from Germany and abroad.
The federal congresses take place at a different location each year. Over 1,000 people from politics, administration, business, science, civil society and practice take part.
The "Living the City" exhibition took place from September to November 2020 in the former Tempelhof Airport in Berlin.
On the occasion of the German EU Council Presidency, it was organised by the former Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community (BMI) and the Federal Institute for Building, Urban and Spatial Research (BBSR). The accessible urban landscape of “Living the City” has been the central arena for current discussions about urban development for a period of three months with its diverse program of events and education
Loving, living, moving, working, learning, playing, dreaming and participating in the city - “Living the City” is all about this. The emotionally and poetically charged stories of the exhibition move and touch, allow you to empathise and think. They have been reflected in more than 50 projects from all over Europe on architecture, art and urban planning, which showed processes and options for action in cities.
