Hamburg, an industrial city in Germany, is keen to offer Delhi its expertise in achieving sustainable development, the German City State's Minister for City Development and Environment, Mr Michael Freytag, said on Monday.
The strategy essentially involves economic growth through industrialisation while safeguarding the environment. Mr Freytag said public transport, drinking and wastewater management were two areas in which the two cities could cooperate. Such ties could provide a learning opportunity for Hamburg that shared several similarities with Delhi in the transport system and industrial areas.
`Work together'
During a high level meeting with Ms Shiela Dikshit, Chief Minister, Delhi, Mr Freytag said, "We can work together to do more including help in sustainable development of Delhi which is a key issue. Hamburg had done this by forging several public-private partnerships."
Mr Freytag is leading a delegation that includes senior executives of public firms engaged in water supply and management and popularising environment friendly public transport buses, particularly those run on fuel cell technology and hydrogen. .
