Ecopolis Catalog

Cover of the Ecopolis München catalog.

To accompany Ecopolis München 2019: Environmental Stories of Discovery we produced a catalog. Instead of documenting the exhibition, the catalog offers glimpses from behind the scenes. It both reveals what went into the exhibition, and asks questions about the future of Munich’s environments. The catalog features the six stations from the Ecopolis München 2019 exhibition, but additionally it also includes the six stations from the Ecopolis München 2017 exhibition. The catalog is bilingual (German and English). Download this catalogue here.

Ecopolis München 2019: Environmental Stories of Discovery

Ecopolis München 2019: Environmental Stories of Discovery is an exhibition on Munich’s environmental histories. It showcases the final projects of students in the Environmental Studies Certificate Program of the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society. The stories told in this exhibition ask: to whom does the urban world belong and what do we want the urban environment of the future to look like?
