Urban pop-up housing environments and their potential for local innovation systems
Abstract
The global need for temporary housing and pop-up living spaces is expected to increase due to multiple factors: increasing severity of natural disasters resulting in large number of displaced peoples; an increase in the number of climate refugees as a result of a changing climate; an spontaneous migration situation due to insecure political situations, terror and war; and the inability - particularly of developing countries - to provide sufficient infrastructure in pace with their rapid population growth in urban areas. Thus, there is an urgent need to find innovative, low-cost and flexible but sustainable and reuse-able concepts that are easy to construct and rapid to implement. In this respect, the research proposal focus on an inter- and multi-disciplinary scientific approach to systematically investigate and evaluate existing temporary housing options, and to create comprehensive, innovative and sustainable models for pop-up living systems in urban environments. Urban and landscape planning, architecture and building systems technologies are merged with resource related disciplines such as energy optimization, sustainable waste management, water supply and wastewater treatment as well as social and political sciences. Diverse predictive modelling approaches are applied and subsequent scenarios of pop-up housing environments are developed considering different conditions and diverse (un-used) urban spaces. Technology assessment approaches as well as energy and life-cycle-assessments (LCA) are applied to evaluate the developed models.
