Urban October at GIZ
Every year in October, UN-Habitat calls on partner organisations to organise events on the topic of sustainable urban development in order to address its relevance in the public sphere. The BMZ is following the call in the framework of the Urban October organised by the Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ GmbH).
World Urban Forum
The world’s largest conference on sustainable urban development offers stakeholders the opportunity for exchange at an international level. Within the German Federal Government, the BMZ is in charge of the thematic area of international urban development and is therefore responsible for the German Pavilion’s appearance and activities including its own event programme.
