How can cities become places where everyone can live well? The KIT Science Week 2025 focuses on the city as a shared living space. Urban researcher Professor Sabine Knierbein (TU Vienna) will kick off the event with a keynote speech on urban communities and why co-design and participation play a central role in this.

Afterwards, Nicole Razavi MdL (Minister for State Development and Housing Baden-Württemberg), Dr. Frank Mentrup (Lord Mayor of Karlsruhe) and Professor Barbara Engel (KIT) will also discuss how we can make cities vibrant, fair and sustainable.
