GreenAdaptation - Adaptive capacities and resilience in urban and landscape planning
Abstract
Adapting to changing climate signals is a central challenge in spatial development for Austrian cities and municipalities. Some Austrian cities and municipalities already have small-scale exposure and vulnerability analyzes on changes in selected climate signals. For several years, cities have focused on analyzing and adapting to increasing urban overheating. However, changes in the area of precipitation regimes are also becoming increasingly noticeable and become an area of action for adaptation (also for smaller towns and rural communities). However, the integration of concrete adaptation measures into the spatial development or the different projects, plans and programs of a city based on these analyzes is a challenge. Two central aspects in particular often hinder comprehensive adaptation: the lack of knowledge about which areas of a city have a particularly high risk and which measures are possible or effective depending on the specific city structure. In addition, there is an increasing requirement to adapt to the increasing heat stress and changes in the precipitation regime (drought and heavy rain events), "to think together and synergistically". This is where the “GreenAdaptation” project comes in. The aim of the project is to develop a set of tools and methods to support Austrian communities.
