Lecture: Sponge City – sponge city worldwide by Herbert Dreiseitl

Heavy rain and dry periods pose major challenges for cities. Holistic concepts of sustainable rainwater management and green infrastructure and their implementation help make cities more resilient to extreme weather situations and sustainably improve the urban climate. 

On March 21, 2024, the Sponge City working group of the state capital Dresden is once again inviting people to a specialist conference in the Ballsportarena, Dresden, to encourage different actors to get involved and to talk to them. The participants not only gain insights into the work of the Schwammstadt AG, but also important impulses from projects in Dresden, Leipzig, Hamburg, and Vienna. In addition, current funding opportunities and legal frameworks for sustainable rainwater management are presented.
