After years of separating living and working, production in the city was lost from view, outsourced from the cities. The productive city is currently the subject of intense debate, triggered by changes in production methods and new possibilities for a mix of uses. There is still a lack of nationwide studies and data analyses, especially with regard to employment effects and spatial differentiation.
On behalf of the Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs and Spatial Development (BBSR) and the Federal Ministry of Housing, Urban Development and Building (BMWSB), the Institute for Work and Technology (IAT) from Gelsenkirchen is conducting the research project "New Spaces for the Productive City" in cooperation with the Laboratory for Urban Places and Processes in Stuttgart, Bochum University of Applied Sciences and the Institute for Employment Research Nuremberg (IAB). The project asks about the significance of urban production in German cities and municipalities. Municipal representatives from the office of the (Lord) Mayor, urban development/planning and economic development are asked to participate in the survey.
Link to the survey: www.iat.eu/limesurvey3/index.php/614737?lang=de
The survey will take about 30 minutes to complete. Participation is requested until 31.03.2022. Multiple responses from one municipality are possible. If you are interested, we will be happy to provide you with the results of the survey afterwards.

Bonn/Düsseldorf. The fast, affordable and complete energy transition towards 100 percent renewable energy needs thought leaders and pioneers who inspire others. With the annual awarding of the German Solar Prize, EUROSOLAR puts these actors in the public eye and offers new impulses for a decentralised, citizen-oriented and regenerative conversion of the energy system.
EUROSOLAR e.V. and the EnergyAgency.NRW will jointly present the winners of the German Solar Prize 2017 on Saturday, 14 October 2017, at VillaMedia in Wuppertal.
In the run-up to the award ceremony, EUROSOLAR, in cooperation with the Hermann Scheer Foundation is organising a symposium to tie in with Hermann Scheer's visionary work "Der Energethische Imperativ" (The Energy Ethical Imperative). Together with the audience, the speakers will discuss how the rapid path to a renewable energy age can be implemented.
The award ceremony of the German Solar Prize begins with greetings from Lothar Schneider, Managing Director of EnergyAgency.NRW, Bettina Brücher, Mayor of the City of Wuppertal and Jörg HeynkesManaging Director of VillaMedia GmbH.

With the "GREEN high 3 Roofs | Facades | Courtyards" funding programme for existing buildings, we want to expand the greening of roofs, facades and backyards. In this way, we are supporting the efforts of the people of Cologne to green and thus enhance the value of private house and courtyard areas close to their homes as well as commercial areas.
The grants are awarded as part of the GRÜN hoch 3 programme in accordance with the funding guidelines. By funding green roofs, façades and courtyards in densely populated urban areas, we are helping to improve the local urban climate.
The summer heat load is reduced, dust binding is improved and evaporative cooling is increased. The decentralised temporary storage of rainwater on roofs and in unsealed, green courtyards contributes to the retention of rainwater on site, increases evaporative cooling and reduces the damage caused by heavy rainfall events.
In areas with high levels of pollution, the unsealing and greening of unused rear courtyards and the greening of facades and roofs can not only use rainwater for evaporative cooling during summer heat events, but also achieve additional environmental improvements and building optimisation.
