In cooperation with the host city Dortmund, Connective Cities is organising a Dialogue Event on "Climate proofing urban development" from 3 to 5 September 2019.

The event is intended to offer German and international practitioners from the fields of climate adaptation and urban development the opportunity to exchange insights and discover good practices on the challenges at the intersection of these areas. Through the peer advice of the participants, different approaches and experiences shall be brought together to formulate innovative solutions and options for further cooperation.

Thematic focus:

• Cross-departmental coordination in integrating climate adaptation and urban development;
• Climate change adaptation and urban development: land management win-win and conflict situations;
• Integration of climate adaptation measures in the urban built environment (e.g. projects to prevent heat islands).

The working language of the event is English. All further information can be found in the call for participants. If you are interested or have any questions, please contact us:
