Situated at the confluence of the Rhine and Neckar rivers, Mannheim is renowned for its grid layout, industrial heritage and cultural diversity. However, in recent years, this city in the state of Baden-Württemberg has embarked on a new journey, aiming to become more liveable, nature-friendly, and climate-resilient. Mannheim's vision combines climate protection, biodiversity and social justice. It's about more than just new parks or trees. The city's vision is to create an urban ecosystem where people, nature and city planning work together.
