Bella is on her way to Heidelberg for this year's 17th German Federal Congress on National Urban Development Policy.
She is participating as part of the ExWoSt project, which TSPA carried out on behalf of the Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs, and Spatial Development (BBSR). This initiative is linked to the German-U.S. network within the Dialogues for Urban Change (D4UC) project, from the Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development, and Building (BMWSB) and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). D4UC fosters international peer-learning networks between cities in Germany, the United States, Ukraine, and South Africa, facilitating exchanges on urban development strategies that serve the common good.
In this year's Congress all three networks will be presented in the event "from local to global: cooperation in urban development" on the 17th of September from 2 to 4 pm hosted by BMWSB. We look forward to seeing you all there to talk in person about the urban development approaches and policy in each city's context, and to hear about the learnings from the cities that have been paired together.
Stay tuned on more updates from the Congress!
