From 2:00 p.m. to about 8:30 p.m., the theme day will feature a city tour, a lecture, and two panel discussions to the question of whether and how these springs could be incorporated into future urban development and, at least in part, reactivated—including with regard to the sustainable, geothermal use of “water” as a resource in the context of the heat transition. Those interested can register for the respective events starting now.
