Shaping Living Environments together

How we live, build, and move shapes our daily lives. Sustainability, climate protection, technological progress, and social participation all play a role. World Design Capital Frankfurt RheinMain 2026 highlights how climate-adaptive construction, modular housing, and circular architecture can work together with future-ready mobility – from e-mobility and sharing systems to connected infrastructure.

Our motivation
