Under the slogan “Challenges of Organising Flood Management”, the 6th Dialogue event of the international community of practice Connective Cities was carried out. Between 9th and 11th February 2015 representatives from municipal, state, and national institutions from Germany, Thailand, Brazil, Indonesia, China, the Netherlands, Serbia, Ireland and Pakistan met in Cologne to exchange on their local experiences.

The objectives of the event were to strengthen the knowledge exchange between German cities and cities from emerging and developing countries, as well as from other industrialised countries, in order to identify good practices, to start a mutual learning process and to develop common project ideas.
