Abstract
The major challenge of climate change requires solutions, especially in cities - which are equally responsible for a large amount of the anthropogenic greenhouse effect. Sustainable future models of the modern city are primarily aimed at mitigation, with two essential factors: energy saving and energy efficiency. Municipal infrastructure, health risks for citizens or urban green areas are under the influence of changing weather conditions. Increasing heavy precipitation and overheating are examples that affect all fields of urban action and require adaptation strategies. The main aim of the project consists of the data collection and evaluation of different climate parameters as well as the survey of citizens on the perception of climate change in public areas in Heidelberg. A comparison of sites in the historic old town with newly created areas makes it possible to evaluate the key factors in urban planning in order to generate both, climatic and social benefits.
