115 Dr.-Ing. Marius Mohr Phone +49 711 970-4216 marius.mohr@igb.fraunhofer.de Dr.-Ing. Ursula Schließmann Phone +49 711 970-4222 ursula.schliessmann@igb.fraunhofer.de Project partners and further information www.morgenstadt.de Engineered ground filter for rainwater treatment Connected with this, there is also the development of an engineered ground filter (dual porosity filter), which has been developed at the University of Copenhagen in collaboration with companies and the city administration. Requiring little maintenance, the filter takes dirty rainwater from the roads and produces high-quality water that can be fed into munici- pal watercourses. Impact factors The most important impact factors as far as the city of Copen- hagen is concerned, are the pursuit of a high life quality at all levels of planning, the local scientific expertise (universities) and a highly motivated and competent city administration with numerous employees. In addition, the awareness of be- ing an international pioneer in the field of sustainability and to be able to export successfully implemented solutions world- wide, contributes to the town’s success. After all, Copenha- gen is aiming to be the first climate-neutral capital city in the world by 2025. Outlook – partner for Morgenstadt Since January 2014, the second phase of the Morgenstadt innovation network has been under way; here the implemen- tation of innovations in towns is being prepared on the basis of the data collected and the derived action model. Parallel to this, the Morgenstadt network is supporting the National Platform for the City of the Future, in which – coordinated by three federal ministries – a comprehensive strategic research agenda involving players from industry, science and local authorities is being developed. It is intended that in response to the calls already published from the EU research program Horizon 2020, the network will create applications for joint projects. Currently the network is still open for new partners from industry and local authorities. 1– 4  Views of the city of Copenhagen. 3 4 Within the context of the regional project “Integrated re- source management in Asian cities: the urban nexus” being carried out by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) [German Society for International Co- operation], the Fraunhofer IGB is already actively involved in advising Asian cities on the interconnection of the water, en- ergy and food security sectors.
