Clever combination: climate protection and climate adaptation – surface synergies at the building and in the district
Background and Goals
In urban space, it is important to agree on a variety of uses. Residents are looking for recreation and space for activities that nature needs Habitat, the production of renewable energy and rainwater management also take up space. Inevitably, conflicts between different user groups arise in a limited area, but also between the goals of climate protection (reduction of climate-relevant greenhouse gases to mitigate climate change) and climate adaptation (dealing with the inevitable consequences of climate change). For example, the production of solar energy (climate protection) is counteracted by shading by trees to reduce the heat island effect (climate adaptation).
The aim of the project is the development of intelligent solutions to cope with land competition and to consider integrated climate protection and adaptation in the stress of roof and facade areas. In addition to synergies and competition at building level, there are also approaches to be explored that integrate climate protection and climate adaptation as well as different spatial uses.

Measures and/or strategies
The aim of the project is the development of intelligent solutions to cope with land competition and to integrate climate protection and adaptation in the use of roof and facade areas. But beyond synergies and competition at the building level, approaches must be explored that integrate climate protection and adaptation in the area. The solutions are to be recorded in an action guideline at district level, which is to be used for planning both at the construction departments of the city of Hamburg and the numerous municipalities in the Federal Republic.
Conflicts / synergies / sustainability
A strategy for coping with spatial competition can offer the principle of multicoding, meaning the meaningful superimposition of different functions and their linking on the surfaces. The project focuses on the feasibility of useful combinations of uses, the legal framework and issues concerning the implementation of the principle of multicoding.
