Already in June, the cities of São Leopoldo (Brazil) and Augsburg (Germany) entered into dialogue. As a result of the Connective Cities international exchange event held in July on the topic of "Democracy of the City. Open Society and Normativity in Urban Development", in cooperation with the city of Mannheim, the city of São Leopoldo and the city of Augsburg took the opportunity to enter into further dialogue.
