Connective Cities organize multiple Dialogue Events for Experts on a variety of urban topics. The intensive exchange of experiences at the Launch Event for the Community of Practice for Sustainable Urban Development in Leipzig in late June inspired and motivated Connective Cities to make use of the summer months to prepare further Dialogue Events for experts. Over the next few months, six international workshops are to take place addressing some of the topics from Leipzig. We have extended our range of programmes facilitating networking between municipal practitioners as well.
The Dialogue Events are:
