What makes Tbilisi fit for the future? The answer will be revealed in February 2016 after European experts team up with Georgian specialists to design the concept of the 'City of the Future' [Morgenstadt City] for Georgia’s capital Tbilisi.
Facilitated by Europe’s largest application-oriented research organisation, the German Fraunhofer-Society, Morgenstadt City is a concept that is designed for cities that want to be better prepared for urban challenges of the future. Using leading-edge innovation management methodologies, Morgenstadt City aimed to develop and implement socio-technical innovations for the city of the future.
A delegation from Fraunhofer-Society is already in Tbilisi and holding meetings with Tbilisi City Hall officials.
Together with our German partners we are working on creating the concept of Morgenstadt City. By February 2016 we will know what the concept should be for energy efficiency, parking management, outdoor lighting, transport and mobility issues,” said Tbilisi Mayor Davit Narmania.
Morgenstadt City will define the implementation of modern and European standards in Tbilisi.
Tbilisi City Hall, Fraunhofer-Society and other partners are involved in the project, including City Institute-Georgia, Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and KFW, a German government-owned development bank.
The first seven months of the year has seen the value of Georgia’s exports and imports (External Merchandise Trade) experience a slight downward trend year-on-year (y/y), claims the National Statistics Office of Georgia (Geostat).
Georgia’s capital Tbilisi is about to undergo a rapid transformation to upgrade the old, dated city into a modern, European city boasting more pedestrian-friendly places, recreation zones, gardens and parks.
The area surrounding Tbilisi Sea is set to undergo major infrastructural development to turn the area into a bustling district with medical centres, schools, trade districts, an ecologically friendly housing area and more.
Mayor of Tbilisi Davit Narmania is on an official visit to Slovakia to inform investors about the opportunities of the new Eco Green City project in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi.
Georgia’s capital Tbilisi is undergoing rapid and major transformation to renovate the old, historic city, add new tourist routes and create more recreation zones for locals to enjoy.
