Stadtklimakomfortzonen - von ubergeordneten Planungen zu lokalen Interventionen

摘要

Global Climate Change has a major impact on cities and their inhabitants. The ordinary Central European city with an average of 2°C temperature increase will therefore face significant impacts on the usability of open spaces and needs the attention of urban planners, the civil society and decision makers. The number of heat days in the region of Stuttgart for instance is predicted to double until the end of the century. With the urban climate comfort zone approach - that is proposed and investigated within the EU-funded TURAS-project (www.turas-cities.org) - an integrated set of measures is introduced that aim to maintain and to improve the usability of open spaces with regard to the increase of bioclimatic stress. This will be reached by urban planning guidelines that focus on green infrastructure and local interventions. One of these local measures is a green wall that serves as a cooling and shading facility as well as a potential noise barrier and water storage. It will be built and tested in order to feed back the results into an integrated transition strategy that serves as a role model for the TURAS partner cities.
