Shaping Demographic Shifts in Freiburg

Cities are about to undergo major demographic changes.

 

Infrastructure, retirement benefits, and recreation facilities must adapt to an aging population. Together with its dedicated residents, the city of Freiburg has launched two projects in its Rieselfeld and Landwasser suburbs. While their content differs, these projects pursue the same aim: to work with people who live there towards shaping demographic shifts. The “Lebendige Stadt” Foundation supports their work.
