Since June 2013 the ZSK combines the subject areas city and landscape planning, architecture, engineering and ecology. Aim of the interdisciplinary teams of scientists is to develop functional instructions for cities and municipalities in Bavaria, showing how ecostystem services of green city infrastructures, e.g. shading, water storage and humidification can adapt the sustainalbe city of the future to the consequences of climate change. Hereby synergy effects will be used integrating flora and fauna equally to provide long-term habitats and protection.
After a duration of four years (2013-2017) the first subproject of the ZSK "Mitigation and Urban Green Infrastructure" was now successfully completed with a guideline for municipalities in Bavaria and a final report.
