Flagship projects: We can organize a behind-the-scenes tour of selected flagship projects such as the Kö-Bogen II in Düsseldorf, the Calwer Passage in Stuttgart or the Green Building in Bietigheim-Bissingen. Our experts will guide you around the sites, explain the background to the planning, implementation and operation of these projects, and will be on hand to answer any questions.
Urban Greening Tour: Join a guided tour to discover a wide range of inspiring approaches to greening buildings and cities, and learn about the details and background of sustainable urban development, different forms of greening and green architecture.
Specialist presentations
We offer expert talks covering all aspects of building greenery, ranging from the contribution of building greenery to climate-resilient cities, through to planning principles, cost-effectiveness and implementation, right through to maintenance and quality assurance.
Drawing on examples of successful flagship projects, our speakers provide practical knowledge for everyone involved, from the initial planning stage right through to day-to-day operations.
