What happens when a bustling Chinese metropolis teams up with a historic German city to tackle climate change? Chengdu's Deputy Mayor Wang Zhihua and Heidelberg's LordMayor Eckart Würzner just spilled the tea on their eco-warrior moves during The Hub's latest Green Talks session.
Chengdu – China's answer to urban jungles becoming literal jungles – is turning rooftops into sky gardens and communities into recycling hubs. Their Angong neighborhood transformation proves sustainability can be Instagram-worthy and functional!
Meanwhile, Heidelberg's rocking the \"passive housing\" trend – think ultra-efficient buildings that slash energy use like a TikTok dance challenge gone viral. Würzner's strategy? Making sustainability so seamless that residents don't even realize they're saving the planet.
Both cities are swiping right on knowledge-sharing , proving that green innovation knows no borders. As Wang Zhihua puts it: \"When communities bloom, our future blooms too.\"
