“balancity” – a city in balance

The German Pavilion has been christened “balancity” – a newly coined word signifying a city in balance. Visitors to balancity will embark on a journey through a city of ideas, moving around as they would in a real city – on foot, moving walkways and escalators – through thematic areas representing different urban spaces.

The journey starts at the harbour and leads through gardens and parks, via a Town planning office and a factory and past the opera to end at the “Energy Source”, the city’s power plant.

A city can be a good place to live – if it provides a balance between renewal and preservation, innovation and tradition, urbanity and nature, community and individual development and work and leisure. That’s the message of the German Pavilion.
