PDCA4Future - Feasibility Study for a Climate-Resilient Urban District in Bruck an der Mur through a New Planning and Financing Approach
Using the Hannes-Bammer-Sports Hall as a case study, the PDCA4Future feasibility project in Bruck an der Mur aims to develop an innovative planning and assessment tool. This involves creating renovation and financing models that align climate neutrality goals with sustainable urban planning. The objective is a fact-based and replicable investment decision (renovation vs. new construction).
Post City Linz - Biodiversity in the CO2-neutral urban quarter
The project "Post City Linz" aims to show that a currently unattractive industrial wasteland can be transformed into a microclimatically ambitious, energy- and resource-efficient quarter with 150,000m² of gross floor area by means of an innovative mix of office, commercial, hotel and residential uses. The focus is on the integration of biodiversity promotion, a CO2 neutral energy supply and innovative energy management in the quarter, animal aided design as well as rainwater management based on the principle of the "sponge city".
QualitySysVillab - Protecting sustainable qualities in neighbourhood developments through process control and new digital methods
Development of a process concept to bring sustainable qualities in neighbourhood development from the intention and announcement level to the built reality. The process is supported by digital methods of energy and structural design and evaluated in the context of a case study.
Quartiershub Itzling - Innovation Lab for the Development of the Salzburg Itzling District Hub
Establishment of an urban district hub for coordinated, integrated, and socially inclusive neighborhood development and climate-responsive transformation. The development and close integration of an actors-, project-, data-, and knowledge-hub enables the piloting and evaluation of innovative, transferable solutions for integrated neighborhood development.
REFUGIUM – Innovative Use of Church Infrastructure for Inclusive and Climate-Resilient Neighborhood Development
REFUGIUM is developing a new collaborative approach (public-private partnership) between the City of Klagenfurt and the Catholic Church. In four pilot neighborhoods, innovative climate protection measures will be jointly identified and examined. This exploratory phase serves as the basis for planned demonstration projects and thus represents an important contribution to the Smart City climate strategy and to the EU Cities Mission "100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030".
ReNew Lindenplatz - Resolving key transformation conflicts for a climate-resilient redevelopment of the Lindenplatz district in Kapfenberg
The exploratory project ReNew Lindenplatz develops a transferable planning approach for climate-neutral and climate-resilient small and medium-sized cities, using the historic old-town district around Lindenplatz and Hauptplatz in Kapfenberg as a case study. Through interdisciplinary analyses, participatory processes and scenario-based development of alternatives, an integrated transformation concept for the district will be developed. The results will form the basis for a subsequent demonstration project and provide transferable solution approaches for other small Austrian pioneer cities.
ResourceRevival - District development from industry site to resource neutrality in Möllersdorf
The reuse of building elements is a much-discussed topic, but a truly circular district encompasses much more. Through interdisciplinary cooperation as part of a co-creative concept development at the Werk Möllersdorf, previously separately considered aspects of the circular economy are combined, symbioses between demand and availability of materials, energy, rainwater and grey water are identified and their circularity is maximized.
SAVE circular approaches for green buildings!
The project demonstrates the cycle and use of synergies in an ARWAG residential building from the extraction of valuable raw materials through a urine treatment plant (fertilizer) using energy recovery measures (heat recovery, heat pump, photovoltaics) to the use of the fertilizer for the generously designed greening measures and the associated effects on the microclimate.
SeiersbergPirka2040 - #wirsindzukunft: Roadmap for a climate-neutral future in Seiersberg-Pirka
Seiersberg-Pirka is the second largest municipality in the district of Graz-Umgebung and was created in the course of the Styrian municipal reform in 2015 by merging the previously independent municipalities of Seiersberg and Pirka. The municipality is located south-west of the provincial capital Graz and is one of the fastest growing municipalities in Austria.
Smart & Urban Tree - Exploring integrative possibilities of structures for urban shading
The project "Smart & Urban Tree" explores large-scale artificial structures, which may serve as a supplementary alternative to other greening measures, such as trees and facade greenery, in dense urban contexts, where traditional concepts cannot be applied in a satisfactory manner. Such structures offer a wide-range of to-be integrated functions and can contribute to mitigation of urban heat islands.
Space & Green. Possibilities for integrating greening into the regulations of Austrian spatial planning
The R&D service "Raum & Grün" (Space & Green) prepared a study that depicts the interrelationships between spatial planning and greening, shows the need for action and the scope for action by actors, and formulates concrete recommendations on how innovative urban greening and greening of buildings can be effectively anchored in the regulations of Austrian spatial planning.
