The bilateral Project is funded for the German side by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) within the program “Research for the sustainable development of megacities of tomorrow“. Within this program, ten German-international consortia conduct research on energy-efficient urban structures in seven countries with fast growing megacities of tomorrow, e.g. in China (Shanghai), India (Hyderabad), South Africa (Johannesburg) or Morocco (Casablanca).
