3rd Forum Die Grüne Stadt: no green without blue — urban water between collection, use and risk

The third edition of the forum held by the Stiftung Die Grüne Stadt asks how cities will deal with water in future: heat spells, heavy rainfall and competing demands on space make rainwater a central factor for green-blue infrastructure. The day runs from a keynote on the small water cycle through practical examples of river restoration and species-rich infiltration swales to a closing discussion on responsibility and who pays for such infrastructure. It addresses professionals in urban planning, water management, parks administration, politics and research; the Berlin Chamber of Architects recognises attendance with eight continuing-education points. Doors and registration from 9 a.m., start at 9:30 a.m., closing after 6 p.m.
