New approaches to climate-adapted urban planning using the example of the "Quartier Feldmark" model area

During the Plan4Change project, the City of Bochum, the German Institute of Urban Studies (DIFU) and the Ruhr University of Bochum were investigating the concrete implementation of the existing “Bochum Climate Adaptation Concept” by accompanying the planning process for the development of the "Ostpark", an important new housing project. The objectives of the three-year project were:

• the climate-adapted implementation of measures in the Ostpark area 
• the broad and intensive stakeholder involvement
• a guideline with transferable results for the integration of climate adaptation measures into planning processes of Bochum and other cities.
