Until March 20, 2026, the Wiesbaden Environmental Store is hosting an exhibition entitled "The City as a Living Space – Every Square Meter Counts." Informative banners and exciting exhibits illustrate why space is so precious – and how sustainable urban development can help to preserve it.

Wiesbaden is one of the greenest cities in Germany: more than half of the approximately 20,000 hectares of urban area consists of forests, meadows, agricultural land, and recreational areas. This connection between city and nature contributes significantly to the high quality of life. But Wiesbaden is growing – and with every new residential building, workplace, or road, space is taken up. Once it has been "used up," it is almost impossible to restore it to its original state.

The exhibition shows examples of how sustainable urban development can strike a balance between green spaces and buildings. Visitors will also learn about the measures the city is already taking to conserve land and how forward-looking planning is helping to keep Wiesbaden livable for future generations. In addition, the exhibition provides practical tips on what everyone can do to help preserve valuable land.
