Dr. Heike Litzinger, Head of the Division 423 for Energy, Urban Development, Mobility and Infrastructure (BMZ) will open the event. She will highlight the strategic relevance of inclusion in sustainable urban development and BMZ’s commitment to it. Following this introduction, architect Anna Heringer will give visual insights in how to practically implement inclusion aspects in architecture. She presents the inspiring example of the “Anandaloy Building” in Bandgladesh, which hosts a centre for people with disabilities combined with a small studio for producing fair textiles. Finally, Carmen Vogt, head of the GIZ Section Cities, connects the impressions gained with the work of GIZ in sustainable urban development. This is followed by an outlook on the events and topics covered during GIZ Urban October 2024.
