“Good practice in the context of sustainable urban development – ways of implementation in everyday municipal life” – this is the motto of the 3rd Expert Forum of the Future Initiative on 12 October 2017 in Essen. The focus is on the diverse experiences that exist in our region with the planning, implementation and operation of water-sensitive sustainable urban development measures. We can benefit from this in our daily work. The forum will focus on the necessary exchange of concrete examples. The 3rd Expert Forum would like to contribute to supporting mutual learning by means of concrete case studies and to make it an integral part of everyday actions. More
