Collaborative action for a sustainable future: In these neighbourhood projects people work together to bring about sustainable change—and gain a sense of community and joie de vivre in the process. It was deeply inspiring to conceptualize and direct this documentary.
The neighborhood project impressively demonstrates how sustainable action and active community go hand in hand—and how joint commitment makes our cities more sustainable.
Filming was a personally enriching experience. The project motivates people to work together to bring about sustainable change and experience greater community spirit in their neighborhood. “Zukunftsstadt Heidelberg” (Heidelberg City of the Future) is a neighborhood project that enables participants to make their everyday lives more sustainable, reduce their ecological footprint, save money, get to know their neighborhood, and improve their quality of life.
