City Meets Foundation: Shaping Society Together on the Ground
Who, how, what: actors in the city. The FoundationReport asks how political will is formed in the cities in light of new non-governmental players. Today more than half of the global population lives in cities. Cities are places of diversity. This diversity within a small geographical area requires tolerance, exchange, dialogue. And it creates freedom. In German cities, foundations play an increasingly important role. The current issue of the FoundationReport focuses on the various actors, their visions and plans.
