Municipal Peer Learning on Sponge Cities
This pilot programme, developed for the Office for Waste, Water,
Energy and Air (AWEL) of the Canton of Zurich, explores how sponge
city principles can be translated into built reality. Through a
structured peer-learning process, it examines how municipalities
implement climate adaptation in streets, public spaces and
neighbourhoods.
The programme focuses on three case studies from Baden, Dietikon and
Schlieren in the Limmattal, the western part of the Zurich
metropolitan area. Together with an international Fachtribüne, the
three municipalities compare their sponge city projects, discuss
implementation challenges and exchange practical experience.
Practitioners, public authorities and international experts identify
transferable lessons for future climate adaptation projects.
One Million Trees for Berlin
The first Berlin programme of Stadtluft will explore how European
cities deliver large-scale urban greening, climate adaptation and
citizen engagement. Inspired by Berlin's Climate Adaptation Act and
its ambition to plant around half a million additional trees, the
programme will examine how ambitious environmental goals can be
translated into practical action.
Practitioners, public authorities and international experts will
come together to discuss governance, implementation and the future
urban landscape.
