An abundance of Chemnitz rooftops invite you to explore the urban landscape from above at the first COLOURFUL ROOFTOPS festival. Art and culture at un­usu­al heights unleashes new perspectives on urban living, and entertain­ment entices visitors to stay awhile in unforeseen places, transforming our roofscape into a lively venue for experiencing community. Organ­ised by the City of Chemnitz, this weekend will host discussions on new potential uses for roofs, highlight opportunities for sustainable urban development, and present a dif­fer­ent view of the city.
