Connective Cities
Newsletter - Edition No. 23, November 2018

Dear readers,

After the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development  has signaled its willingness to further promote the city platform beyond 2018, the Connective Cities team has been busy planning the next phase of the project for quite some time. The exchange of experience and the development of practical solutions for sustainable urban development will be the focus of cooperation.

In order to meet your professional interests and needs for exchange in the best possible way, we will address a thematic call to German and international municipalities and municipal companies in the up-coming weeks.

Until then, we hope you enjoy your reading,

Your Connective Cities Team
