Greeting

Cities have always been at the pulse of human progress. From the Greek polis to medieval Hanseatic cities to today’s megacities, cities made art and culture, commerce and trade, science and technology flourish. 50 per cent of global conomic performance is achieved by the world’s 600 biggest cities. These cities are not just partners, but also competitors.

In this contest, MIPIM is one of the most important marketplaces. Hamburg is in an excellent position to stand its ground and gain. Despite the euro crisis, the signals for the economy at the banks of the Elbe river are, are set for growth. This is especially true for the real estate industry.

A comprehensive housing programme, innovative urban development concepts, and ambitious climate protection goals create perspectives in Hamburg for national and international investors.

Talk to us.

President of the Senate of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg
