Resilient Cities
To facilitate immediate collaborative action we develop new formats with and for municipalities, districts, and organizations.
Resilient Cities is looking forward to be part of the panel discussion on sharing resources and perspectives at the Fifteenth International Conference on The Constructed Environment
A new guide for all those who want to create climate-resilient cities. Resilient Cities was pleased to contribute to this. Download
The Impact of Resilient Cities
“I already knew that small projects should be tackled as quickly as possible. What was new: that such small projects can have an incredibly high impact, and that public relations should be more strongly emphasized.”
Jessica Heyde, Climate Protection Manager, Herzberg
“Start immediately, don’t wait. I’ve already done a lot of things, but I spent nights doing it—sitting with bottles of red wine, thirty cigarettes, writing everything down, sorting, and reworking. Here, in 10 minutes, I formed three groups. What I take away: enthusiasm.”
Edith Gensler, Citizen and Co-Initiator from Erkner
“What I take away from the training camp? The motivation to take action. In the administration, we always tend to make big plans first, weigh everything up, and so on and so forth. What I really took away for myself: start simply with low-threshold ideas.”
Dennis Neumann, Mayor of Bleckede
“The training camp was a great new experience. I had never participated in anything like this before. It’s wonderful to see how people interact, listen to different viewpoints on topics where they already have their own opinion. Then realizing: there are commonalities, but also differences. And learning: how do you deal with the differences, how can you best solve them? I thought it was great.”
Kawa Zhi, Youth Representative from Breisach am Rhein
“I also thought it was amazing to see that everyone in the group brought expertise, experience, or an idea. That we immediately formed interdisciplinary teams, with which we might really be able to implement the projects because we have everything we need.”
Participant from the business sector
“I am surprised by the entire concept, that so much can already be set in motion in such a short time. You also have a certain obligation now to continue. It’s not just: you walk out of here and it’s done.”
Nelli Schamne, City of Breisach am Rhein
