ISOCARP as exclusive partner of the Metropolitan Solutions – Hannover Messe is organizing a one-day workshop in cooperation with CORP on
„Innovative Solutions for Cities – Between Research and Practice“
ISOCARP / CORP Workshop at Metropolitan Solutions 2015, Berlin
21 May 2015 – 9.00 – 13.00 and 14.00 – 17.30
Cities are the place of economic production, knowledge and innovation – together with connectivity, creativity and services. As cities are dense, they offer also high potentials for energy savings and low carbon economies. However, cities are also today confronted with several challenges: unemployment, segregation, climate change issues.
How do cities make use of these potential to use the crativity and knowledge to answer today’s challenges? The Workshop will focus on innovative solutions for cities, by bridging the gap between research and practice.
The Morning Session has special interventions from our partners GDF-SUEZ, Lafarge, Dorsch Consult, European Investment Bank and Microsoft. The Afternoon Session is reflecting on Smart Cities with special contributions from City of Vienna, EU Parliament, DG Regio European Commission, and Doppelmayr Urban Solutions.
