#bettertogether: aquanale and FSB
aquanale is co-located with FSB - the leading international trade fair for urban exercise, sports and public spaces. Urban oasis and private oasis serves as the theme linking the two events. Swimming pools, playgrounds, gardens, saunas and rooftop terraces all need to be reimagined as climate-adapted, inclusive and sustainable spaces. Concepts such as the sponge city and the sponge garden see water as more than a resource - it is a design principle.
aquanale and FSB create synergies that are unique in the world. Together, they provide a focused platform where supply and demand converge - to create healthy, liveable cities of the future.
