German and English languageTransformation of the cities character and potential by diversity
The ever more diverse populations of the cities, and the overlapping of the local, regional and global economies in the urban environment, are transforming the character and development potential of each city. The cities have developed diverse identities which have an internal effect just as well as they determine their international perception and appeal.
This section will seek to produce images and discussions on how the cities perceive themselves in the course of this process of identity change and differentiation, and which steps they are taking to make use of diversity and change to enhance their own development and position.
