  Dear ladies and gentlemen,
Dear colleagues,

We would like to invite you to the open space conference on co-operative urban and regional development on June 2nd and 3rd 2005 in Berlin. The event deals with the question:

“How can we organise co-operation and participation for tomorrow’s cities and regions today?”

Many European cities and regions are experiencing great challenges at present. Demographic changes, decrease in population and migration, international competitiveness of locations and the effects of the climate change are some of the developments, which will increasingly alter the life in our communities. What can instruments of co-operation and participation offer already today in order to stay able to act against this background?

Are you a local player in a town or a region? Decision-maker from economy, politics, administration or non-governmental organisations? Scientist, consultant or planner from Germany or another European country? – Then you are right at this conference!

The one and half day conference offers an information pool and a platform for the exchange of knowledge, in order to profit mutually from good experiences, to learn from mistakes and to win new impulses for your own work. It gathers experts from various disciplines, who offer answers to burning questions, are prepared to enter the dialogue between colleagues and enrich personal networks. The open space method provides room for a creative working atmosphere, in which new co-operation and new ideas for projects can develop. We use this method in order to promote the exchange of experiences beyond the boundaries and limits of countries, professions and hierarchies. 

The event takes place at the Elias parish hall in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg. A reduced conference fee of 100,– Euro is payable for registrations and payments until March 31st 2005 (price for an early booking). The standard price for a registration after this date is 120,– Euro. The conference fee includes food and beverages consumed during the conference. Presumably, for a total of 18 participants from the new EU Member States (or the Candidate countries) the European Academy for Urban Environment (EAUE) can make a contribution towards the expenses for participation and travelling. Further information and a registration form you can find under www.bueroblau.de/os2005/invitate.html.

We would be happy to welcome you in Berlin on June 2nd!

With kind regards,

Frank Baumann and Malte Detlefsen (BÜRO BLAU)
