Die blau-grüne Stadt

Water is es­sen­tial for our ecosys­tems and habi­tats. Against the back­drop of cli­mate change, blue-green in­fra­struc­tures (BGI) are be­com­ing in­creas­ingly im­por­tant in ur­banised areas. The pub­li­ca­tion on the blue-green city pre­sents the re­sults of the win­ter school under the same head­ing, in which stu­dents, re­searchers and de­sign­ers from var­i­ous plan­ning fac­ul­ties in Ger­many spent a year ex­plor­ing this fun­da­men­tal topic. The pub­li­ca­tion uses cur­rent de­signs and pro­jects from re­search and prac­tice to show how na­ture-based el­e­ments can be in­te­grated into urban plan­ning in order to make cities more live­able, cli­mate-re­silient and sus­tain­able. In­no­v­a­tive so­lu­tions for wa­ter-sen­si­tive urban de­vel­op­ment, cli­mate adap­ta­tion strate­gies and risk man­age­ment, bio­di­ver­sity and health care are pre­sented.
