How can we enable people to live better and longer together in the Blütenviertel Caputh — and make our community life future-proof?

Together with the team from DUCAH – Digital Urban Center for Aging & Health – a human-centred research and consulting centre specialising in care, health and the social economy — and with representatives from research, practice, politics, community organisations and neighbourhood development, we discussed this question at the DUCAH-Forum “a neighbourhood designed for living better, longer — together.” 

We explored how tomorrow’s ways of living can be shaped to be inclusive, smart and multi-generational: how neighbourhoods can become more than just places to live — true living and learning environments that intelligently combine housing, work, community, services and sustainability.

To facilitate this exchange, forum stations were set up throughout our infrastructure — spanning our event spaces, coworking area, townhouses and energy hub

As an emerging "neighbourhood designed for living better, longer — together" the Blütenviertel Caputh brings together:

– nature-oriented quality of life
– innovative energy provision
– flexible work and learning spaces
– social and digital innovations

We see ourselves as a living lab for the neighbourhoods of the future — open to networks, partners and investors who share and want to actively help shape this vision of dignified, self-determined and sustainable living. 

Our white paper with all insights and impulses is available upon request

We thank all contributors and guests for the inspiring exchange and welcome everyone who would like to continue thinking about the topic „a neighbourhood designed for living better, longer — together“ with us.
