City planners and environmentalists are working on prestigious projects towards livable cities and development patterns that can be sustained over generations. This seminar will focus on three completely different German landscapes, on the challenges they face and on the visions they have for a sustainable future. Participants will meet experts in the fields of local administration, politics, urban environment, and education. In discussions and field trips they will experience how a middle sized Black Forest city, a former center of coal mining and heavy industry and the old and new German Capital approach the challenges ahead of them. The locations chosen offer ample opportunities to enjoy regional cultural highlights and to experience first hand the bustling new capital city of Berlin.
Late application is possible.
