MCube on Stage - A particular highlight was the presentation by our colleague Melanie Grötsch (City of Munich) on the issue: "How do we address underrepresentation and mobility poverty in sustainable change?" In the panel discussion with Christiane Malina (City of Hasselt) and Claudia Falkinger, moderated by Naomi Lloydbecame impressively clear:
