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!
