Die Landschaft der Stakeholder in der deutsch-chinesischen Urbanisierungs- kooperation ist dicht. Nicht immer per se nur des Kooperierens wegen macht kooperieren Sinn, aber manchmal “liegt es auf der Hand”, die Ressourcen zu bündeln, vor allem dann, wenn Ziele und Zielgruppen ähnlich sind. So im Falle von URBANIXX und STADTMACHER. Für Herbst 2020 haben wir uns einen gemeinsamen Workshop vorgenommen.
