Special Event “Urban Living – City of the Future”
According to the United Nations, nearly 70 percent of all people are expected to be living in metropolises and megacities by 2050. Functional apparel, with smart functions for example, could also play an even more important role in people’s everyday lives in the future. The Techtextil and Texprocess exhibition area presented examples of textile applications.
