Growing Green Cities
Appealing cities. Safe and healthy.
Floriade’s theme Growing Green Cities presents the creative, green, sustainable solutions required to make this a reality. This theme is more important than ever. By 2050, some 68% of the global population will live in cities on a mere 2% of the earth’s surface area.*
Together with our participants and sponsors we aim to inspire visitors to live greener, healthier lives.
We will do so using four sub-themes:
- Greening the City: more greenery
- Feeding the City: improved food supplies
- Healthying the City: more conscious living
- Energising the City: smarter energy supplies
Greening the City
Immerse yourself in greenery
Green cities are liveable cities. But how do you make built-up cities greener? Immerse yourself in the arboretum’s greenery: a living catalogue of trees and plants. Every species has a demonstrable role it could play in the cities of the future. A great place for your organisation to share its knowledge.
Feeding the City
Sustainable food production for and by cities
Food production is no longer the countryside’s prerogative. It is our pleasure, together with our participants and sponsors, to present solutions in the field of experimental agriculture and horticulture, urban agriculture, artificially produced food, nutrition, health and sustainable agriculture.

Healthying the City
Feel healthy in a healthy city
People want to feel healthy and actively participate in society for as long as possible. Floriade Expo 2022 reveals the search for clean air, water and soil to help you feel in top shape both physically and mentally.
Energising the City
New sources of energy
Sustainable energy solutions are indispensable. Particularly as the expanding population’s energy requirements are also increasing. Floriade Expo 2022 will show visitors new inventions for generating, storing and saving energy.

A celebration of green
The Floriade park will be a celebration of green and sustainable technology. New technologies for greenery, food, energy and health will be researched and implemented at this living laboratory. Visitors will be touched by what they see, smell and taste.
The park consists of permanent elements and expo-specific ones. All contribute to Floriade’s four sub-themes: Greening the City, Feeding the City, Healthying the City and Energising the City.
Inspiring gardens, conferences, workshops and exhibitions will be mixed with impressive attractions, surprising tasting sessions, art and culture. The site will be full of energy and action. Naturally, all in wonderful, green surroundings.
