Sustainable Cities

One of the main factors that influences where people live is the location of their jobs. With the unexpected shift to working from home for a large part of the workforce since early 2020 came the freedom for many to move where they want to be not where they work. So what makes cities attractive places to live and how do we create sustainable, innovative cities for the future? What measures shape the livability of our cities? How are aspects such as traffic and education related to quality of living in urban spaces? We will talk about best practices and see what Germany and the United States can learn from each other.

For discussing these questions, we are honored to have Isabel Fezer and James Brainard as our guests who both submit interesting perspectives on the relevant issues at hand. We cordially invite you to this interactive web talk which is organized in cooperation with the German-American Center/James-F.-Byrnes Institute e.V. Stuttgart.
