Steering of green infrastructure in single-family house and allotment garden areas
Abstract
Urban growth and the increasing densification of urban areas lead to land use and target conflicts and, as a result, to a loss of green (and blue) infrastructure. However, it is precisely green and blue infrastructure that makes a contribution to alleviating the challenges of climate change. Numerous studies have confirmed these contributions. In connection with the changes caused by climate change, such as a strengthening of the urban heat island effect or dealing with heavy rain events, this development presents the City of Vienna with a challenge. The assignment of a horticultural design of non-built-up, but buildable areas intended to support the maintenance or creation of green spaces as well as to reduce surface sealing in the settlement and can thus make a contribution to adaptation to climate change. In reality, however, an increasing sealing of plots can be observed, especially in allotment garden areas and allotment garden areas for year-round living as well as in residential areas of construction class I. This basic study is intended to make a contribution to the assessment of the current situation and developments in these land use categories as well as possible improvements in the control of the greening and, based on this, recommend specific measures and instruments for implementation. The different performance of horticultural design elements, i.e. various urban green infrastructure elements in relation to biodiversity and their microclimatic performance (focus on heat and heavy rain) should also be presented.
