RNE Secretary General Günther Bachmann explains in an interview how important new alliances for sustainability are.
Exclusive clubs of high-ranking personalities have historical merits, just think of the Club of Rome. Today, however, we need other forms of organization. The focus is not on international celebrities, but on the practical competence of the players on the ground. This is what we signal with "open". The Open SDGclub is a concept of the "sharing society". Its concept is "share ware". That is, it is designed to be replicated elsewhere.

Beautiful living for all - the rooftop cooperative initiative STADTraum54 is initiating the largest new cooperative project in Cologne - and you are helping to plan it? The initiators of STADTraum54 are putting their concept up for debate. Taking part is part of the programme!
Who owns the city? To all of us! Housing is a basic right, social coexistence is the foundation of our society, ecology is our responsibility and community is our desire. Many people looking for a housing project would subscribe to this guiding principle. And although there are many interested parties and some nice projects, there has been a lack of effectiveness on a larger scale in Cologne so far.
This initiative aims to push forward into a new dimension of housing projects in Cologne and everyone can contribute to this as a source of ideas, supporter or comrade. Even the first project should be larger than the usual housing projects, guarantee a long-term social commitment and also be of benefit to the neighbourhood. What has been realised in Berlin, Munich and Zurich should also be possible in Cologne. However, it should not just be a project for a small group of lucky people, but the start of a new urban culture. How we get there and which things are important and which are luxuries will be worked out together on this evening.
The event is the start of a participatory process that will result in a city that is kept alive by its citizens through active use, that belongs to them and in which they feel at home - but it starts with a project and then some!

TU Dortmund University conducted an excursion to Paris from 27 to 31 March 2017 as part of the research project "Co-Housing Initiatives in Europe". There, the researchers met French colleagues Anne Labit (Orléans University), Sabrina Bresson (ENSA Paris Val-de-Seine) and Claire Carriou (Paris Nanterre University)."
"While in Germany the number of community housing projects has been steadily increasing for the last 30 years and a number of communal and other support structures have developed in parallel, a similar development has only been observed in France since the early 2000s."

In 2015, a new excursion attraction was created near Waldbröl in the vicinity of Bonn and Cologne that is not only attractive to wood construction fans: the Panarbora nature experience park. Covering an area the size of eleven football pitches, the park offers a unique combination of nature, amusement and environmental knowledge. The heart of the park is a tree-top walk of 1,200 m in length.
