Future Megacities in Action

The international conference Future Megacities in Action will highlight good practice examples of energy- and climate-efficient urbanisation from Asia, Africa and America, set against the European background. It will feature the results of the research priority “Future Megacities” funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research: technical, social and economic solutions developed by participating bilateral and transdisciplinary research teams for and with cities.

It is our great pleasure to announce the second “International BMBF-Conference on Future Megacities”. The conference will be held in Hamburg, the 2011 “European Green Capital”, where currently a number of highly respected good practices including “Cities and Climate Change” are coming to life.

The conference presents innovative solutions for a sustainable, energy-efficient and climate-adapted urban development particularly of emerging megacities in developing and newly industrialising countries. The conference will bring together global actors, experts and dedicated urbanists in politics, academia, civil society and business to

• discuss the pressing needs of cities
• learn about innovative solutions and
• reflect on new ways for implementing and upscaling knowledge and capacities.

To find out more, join our conference with a diverse programme of presentations, discussions and thematic workshops! The event also offers various opportunities to meet and exchange ideas with 300 international experts. A market place provides insights into model solutions, products and tangible results from different urban contexts, while specially commissioned short films complete the programme. Additionally we invite you to participate in excursions to inspiring pilot projects in the City of Hamburg.
