On 27 and 28 May 2019, 38 architects, municipal representatives and experts in sustainable sports development were given unique insights into professional sports and urban development in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. Eight different staging posts were on the sightseeing programme prepared by Thomas Beyer, the former head of the Hamburg sports department.
The operators of the sports and leisure facilities on the programme led tours through their facilities and provided first-hand information on operational and technical issues.
The international participants of the study trip comprised experts from Austria, Cyprus, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain and the United Kingdom. There was plenty of opportunity for the participants to get to know each other and talk shop during the coach rides through Hamburg and over lunch and dinner.
