10th Fed­eral Con­gress on National Urban Devel­op­ment Policy

This year’s con­gress is ded­ic­ated to the import­ant topic of migra­tion and aims to con­trib­ute to the debate on how to achieve inclus­ive urban devel­op­ment and build social cohe­sion within the neigh­bor­hood, the dis­trict and the city. Exem­plary exper­i­ences, pro­jects, aca­demic research and polit­ical strategies will be presen­ted. The con­gress allows the dis­cus­sion on com­pre­hens­ive, innov­at­ive solu­tions and is a venue for con­struct­ive net­work­ing. The gen­eral object­ive of the 10^th Con­gress on National Urban Devel­op­ment is to stim­u­late the pre­ser­va­tion of cities as liv­able places. Head­ing “Civic ener­gies – cre­at­ing cohe­sion” the con­fer­ence focuses on chal­lenges for muni­cip­al­it­ies and on social liab­il­ity, involve­ment and par­ti­cip­a­tion taking into account cur­rent issues like immig­ra­tion, demo­graphic change and strained hous­ing situ­ations. Renowned experts and rep­res­ent­at­ives from polit­ics, urban plan­ning and soci­ety share their exper­i­ences and know-how and col­lab­or­ate with the par­ti­cipants. Actors of numer­ous paradig­matic pro­jects in all over Ger­many are show­cas­ing their ideas and approaches, speak about strategies and reviews. A wide range of side events and excur­sions by part­ners com­ple­ment the con­gress.
