Freiburg im Breisgau
Freiburg is one of the greenest Cities in Germany, but not just because of its policies and politics. No other city of comparable size has more woodlands and vineyards and such a diversity of landscape. Today the city is also seen as a model combination of “soft” ecology and “hard” economy. Environment policy, solar engenieering, sustainability and climate protection concepts have become the mainstays of economic, political and urban development.
