Germany will consolidate its people-to-people cooperation with India with an Indo-German Urban Mela, a holistic exchange in technology, science, culture and entertainment between 27 Oct ober and 4 November at the Indraprashtha Millennium Park in the capital.
The Urban Mela, which has toured Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai earlier this year, will cap its itinerary with a biggest-ever showcase in the capital, the envoy said.
At the centre of the mela is a set of cutting-edge, multi-purpose pavilions designed by renowned German installation artist and designer Markus Heinsdorff themed on ‘city-spaces’. It aims to study the impact of urbanisation and the challenges of change posed by the transformational urban landscapes in both India and Germany to provide solutions for sustainable growth.
The attention will be drawn to issues like mobility, energy, sustainable urban development, architecture, cultural space, education and urban art through variety of genres like visual arts, education, technology and business. The carnival will be open to visitors for free.
Steiner said one of the most important events on the roster of the Urban Mela was the 13th Asia-Pacific Conference of German Business that will draw 800 representatives – ‘some of the best in German business’ – to the capital.
