GERMAN COOPERATION:
Towards Sustainable Cities
Cooperación Alemana:
Desarrollar Ciudades Sostenibles
German Events and Contributions
at the World Urban Forum 7
5 – 11 April 2014, Medellín, Colombia
Welcome
Cities are the dynamic centers of our time, places where the
opportunities and challenges of global sustainable development all come together. At the same time, it is becoming more
and more difficult to make cities a good environment to live in.
Therefore, the central concern of German development policy
in the field of urban development is to mobilize all actors and
to set in motion processes, which will lead to the sustainable
and inclusive development of cities and urban areas.
The German Pavilion represents a broad range of participants
including representatives of ministries, cities, municipal associations and international cooperation organizations working towards sustainable cities.
We welcome you to the German Pavilion and invite you to
share your thoughts and project ideas to contribute to the discussion on sustainable cities of tomorrow.

BMZ
The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development
(BMZ) is responsible for formulating the principles and strategies
of German development policy. These then form the basis of the
cooperation projects and programmes developed together with our
partner countries and with international organisations. Sustainable
urban development is recognised as a key element in achieving
international climate and development goals (e.g. MDGs) and
therefore constitutes a significant field of German development
policy.
www.bmz.de
BMUB
The Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation,
Buildings and Nuclear Safety is focusing on a sustainable use
of resources and an environmentally as well as climate friendly
deployment of our country and on international level. This applies
to the conservation of flora and fauna, the promotion of resource
efficiency as well as an active role of Germany in avoiding climate
change and environmental damage. Further responsibilities are
the security of nuclear facilities and related issues. Since 2013
the Ministry is also in charge for the building sector and urban
development in Germany.

BMBF
The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) promotes
education and research to contribute to securing our country’s
prosperity. Research creates previously unknown opportunities in all
domains of life, and it keeps our products and services innovative and
competitive. International exchange in education and science is also
one of our responsibilities.

City of Leipzig
Leipzig, 1989 the city of the peaceful revolution, has a population of
530.000 making it the largest city in East Germany second only to
Berlin. Leipzig has a long and tradition as city of books, education
and literature. The hometown of Johann Sebastian Bach has also an
international reputation as a city of music and is home to the famous
Gewandhausorchestra. Following unification in 1990 Leipzig went
through a period of radical transition. Losing the majority of its jobs,
population declined radically in a city whose valuable architectural
heritage was in urgent need for renovation. Leipzig at that time was
at the brink of losing its historical identity. Today it can look back
to a successful transformation: Quality of life improved e.g. via city
wide urban regeneration processes and since 2001 the population is
growing again, actually at the biggest rate in Germany.

City of Munich
Munich is the capital of the state of Bavaria and gains always
top positions in city rankings for life quality. The attractiveness is
result of the good labor market situation, the diverse cultural and
educational offer and the beautiful surrounding countryside with its
many recreational opportunities. On the other side there is a high
influx pressure and associated challenges such as lack of housing
and adaptation of infrastructure. Forecasts predict a rise from the
current 1.4 to 1.6 million inhabitants until 2020. Munich is thus
already the most densely populated city in Germany with the highest
housing costs and with a very high utilization of individual and public
means of transport.
