In June 2023, the global community of urban shapers will meet in Stuttgart. Despite being known primarily for its industry, we think you’ll be surprised by what Germany’s economic powerhouse has to offer. In 2022, Stuttgart was named Germany’s most sustainable large-scale city by the German Award for Sustainable Cities – and not for no reason.
Home to citizens from 180+ nations, the country’s sixth-largest city is also one of its greenest. Recognised as Germany’s cargo-bike capital, it is also the site of one of the biggest rail expansion projects in Southern Germany since the 19th century. But it’s the city’s reputation for innovation that make it a must-see destination for urban shapers. As well as offering plenty of cultural and artistic highlights, Stuttgart sits at the heart of some of the most exciting changes in the fields of sustainable architecture and construction, transport, digitisation, and more.
