With: Netzwerk DieNachwachsendeStadt

How do we develop a resource-positive urban vision? In short – how can we overcome our consumer society’s dependence on fossil fuels? Over the course of a one-day symposium with a diverse group of urban actors, we will discuss two main themes:
1. Densification of urban space with renewable resources – Urban Wood. The use of renewable resources such as timber and other natural building materials will play a crucial role in our journey towards a post-fossil fuel society. Experts including Prof. Hermann Kaufmann will discuss what is already possible with Urban Wood, and what challenges the future holds.
2. Principles of DieNachwachsendeStadt
The Berlin-based ‘DieNachwachsendeStadt – NWS’ Network is dedicated to investigating questions of growth, density, resource usage, ownership models, participation and self-determination in the urban laboratory of Berlin. Network partners will explain and discuss the Network’s key principles with visitors.
