Why

Creative Climate Cities






“Climate change, waves of migration and digitalisation make urbanisation processes more complex. Our urban future depends on collaborative, trans-disciplinary and unconventional transition pathways. For this, we need creative processes, digital engagement tools and new partnerships.”

Dr. Nadine Kuhla von Bergmann,
Founder of Creative Climate Cities

 

What

we offer



We initiate urban innovation projects to localise SDG goals and to co-create lively neighbourhoods, smart districts and resilient cities. We let you explore unconventional ways of city making.
 

Strategic Partnerships

Do you believe in urban system thinking, trans-disciplinary capacities and the value of citizen-focused design? We share this belief and set up citizen and stakeholder engagement processes to initiate projects which deliver these goals. We act as neutral brokers and match-make technical experts, citizens, researchers, municipal staff, financial agents, political drivers, private developers and social entrepreneurs from our vast global network.

Process Design

Do you want to implement a sustainable district development project or are you working with an existing neighbourhood towards carbon-neutrality? We support you in translating your ideas into adaptive masterplans, powerful action plans, business models and innovative management approaches to reach the integration of mobility, energy, water management, housing and related urban services.

Planning Tool Development

Do you feel your project is missing an intuitive planning tool, a visualisation application or a digital knowledge management system to ensure engagement of decision-makers , tech-partners and citizens? We assist you in use case development, interface design and introduction process of digital urban planning tools, citizen engagement platforms, geographic information systems and 3D city models.

 

How

we work




We passionately curate co-creation workshops and exhibitions, deliver feasibility studies, applied research studies and trend reports, organise strategic retreats, experiential district tours and match experts, design project websites and give inspirational talks.
