Architektur im Klimawandel - Planung und Technik

The third event in our "Architecture in a changing climate" series is dedicated to the question of how we can better adapt our buildings and cities to climate change - and what role planning and technology play in this. A special focus this time is on the topic of water.

Water is essential for survival - but here, too, it always depends on the right dose... Too much quickly leads to disastrous flooding, too little causes the little greenery in our cities to dry out and die. How can our built environment help us find the right remedy here? How do we protect ourselves, how do we contribute to improving the situation?

The concept of the sponge city seems to be the right solution - but can it also be implemented in existing urban structures? And what exactly is behind this term and other terms such as "blue-green infrastructure"?

A look behind the scenes of modern urban planning, with three selected experts who will shed light on the topic from very different perspectives.
