Green Cities Rising: Insights from the AGYLE 2025 Workshop

What does it take to build the green cities of tomorrow? In this
episode, we discuss the AGYLE 2025 workshop in Berlin, which
brought together young leaders from various sectors to explore
the future of sustainable urban development. Focusing on the
vision of 'ECOTOPIA', the workshop addressed the four key systems
identified by the European Environment Agency (EEA) in its report
'Imagining a Sustainable Europe in 2050': food, mobility, the
built environment and energy.


Eveline shares some insights from the workshop, where the
essential characteristics of green cities were discussed, and
reflects on why this topic is more relevant than ever, both in
Germany and worldwide. We also address the challenges of
greenwashing and the importance of accountability. Last but not
least, we want to offer advice to the next generation of urban
innovators.


Tune in for an inspiring conversation about the opportunities and
obstacles on the path to creating greener, more inclusive cities!
