Know-How-Transfer

Once a year, the Foundation organises a symposium focusing on topical issues relating to the cities. Future issues, approaches to solving current problems, and the result of the surveys conducted by the Foundation are discussed by representatives from the worlds of culture, politics, business and society. These fruitful discussions are made available to a wide specialist readership through the “Lebendige Stadt” journal.

In the past, many cities and municipalities have privatized municipal companies, also due to the difficult financial situation they found themselves in. But despite record deficits in the municipal coffers, it is meanwhile the case that the ever-decreasing options for shaping social policy, imperfect markets and the change in basic overall social attitudes in a world overshadowed by global economic crisis are resulting not only in growing calls for a stronger state but have also led to the creation of new municipal enterprises. A third option is that of public-private partnerships, in which the public and private sectors join forces to implement municipal projects. We want to investigate the experiences of cities, municipalities and companies with the various models

According to Germany's Federal Environment Agency, around 15 million people in Germany say that their lives are seriously impaired by noise. The roads are named as by far the biggest source of noise, followed by airports and airfields, railways, industrial companies, neighbors and sporting facilities. There is meanwhile an international "Anti-Noise Day" aimed at raising awareness levels for this problem and the consequences of noise. The EU has issued a directive requiring the member states to determine ambient noise levels and to draw up plans of action to address this problem. Independently of these efforts, many cities and municipalities have already taken their own measures to reduce and avoid noise – in the form of noise abatement strategies, for example. We want to discuss how the cities plan to achieve the often competing goals of business promotion and noise reduction and identify innovative options for reducing noise levels.

In the view of well-known urban researcher Richard Florida, the economic success of a city is highly dependent on its "creative class". These mobile individuals are attracted in particular by a culture of freedom and tolerance. Florida's theses have meanwhile prompted numerous cities to develop strategies to attract these creative thinkers. City rankings show how individual cities are positioned compared to their national and international "competitors". But is it possible to strategically generate a creative climate anywhere? And what other innovative ideas can help to make a city more livable?
