Abstract

Climate change mitigation and adaptation increasingly become urgent issues for planning in urban agglomerations. Although plans for either mitigation or adaptation have been developed, only few integrated approaches and strategies can be found. The hypothesis is that for both, for mitigation and adaptation measures at urban planning level can be implemented far more effective if both are considered integratively. Therefore, the Centre for Urban Ecology and Climate Adaptation (ZSK) at Technische Universität München was initiated to deliver integrated approaches for addressing climate protection and climate change adaptation. ZSK examines both, the built environment and urban ecology, and their interaction at the neighbourhood scale. On this basis, integrative planning strategies are developed. This development is based on energy and microclimate simulation including a coupling of both. The strategies are developed at neighbourhood scale for types of urban structures in close cooperation with case study partner cities in the State of Bavaria, southern Germany.
