Climate-silient urban resource management based on the case study of Zukunftshof and Rothneusiedl
Abstract
Initial situation and problems: The exploratory project in the context of the 8th City of the Future call for proposals is intended to contribute to the development of resilient climate-neutral urban districts with high resource and energy efficiency, increased use of renewable energy sources and a high quality of life. Furthermore, it is intended to contribute to the optimization and adaptation of urban infrastructure and service provision. Aim of the project: The case study Zukunftshof will be used to explore the possibilities of turning an old farm into a lighthouse project for innovative urban agriculture and climate-smart circular economy. The Zukunftshof will be the starting point for a sustainable circular energy and resource system for the urban development area Rothneusiedl in the south of Vienna. For this purpose, KLIMUR develops the methodology and instruments to accompany the planning and decision-making processes for the realization of local resource circular economy (energy, food, water) and integrated district energy concepts. In addition to energy flows (heating, cooling and electricity), resource flows (biomass, nutrients and water) are determined, analysed and simulated at Zukunftshof. The multi-criteria optimization and evaluation models used in this process allow assessments with regard to ecological and energetic indicators and take into account economic framework conditions of the realization variants. The partially conflicting goals are presented and discussed in the planning and coordination process with the stakeholders. From this, possible development scenarios for the Zukunftshof and for the Rothneusiedl district will be derived. Expected project results: • Qualitative and quantitative spatial-temporal analyses for the implementation of the Zukunftshof development concept, with the aim of obtaining a sound basis for realization decisions during the planning and implementation process. • Estimation of possible development scenarios for the Zukunftshof and their interaction with the future urban development area Rothneusiedl. • Financing strategies for the realization of the demonstration project. • A roadmap for implementing the development scenarios at the Zukunftshof.
