Climate Park Munich

Open Space Strategies for Green Spaces in the Wake of Climate Change.

Semester Project M.A. Landscape Architecture, Winter Semester 2013/14

Topic

The effects of climate change are particularly noticeable in large cities. Due to the high degree of sealing and building development, the climate in the city differs greatly from the surrounding area. For example, the air temperature in the city is usually significantly higher, while the wind speed is lower. More frequent heavy rain and hail events are further phenomena predicted for cities.

Task

The Klimapark project seeks design approaches for how an urban green space can function both as an ecosystem and as a usable open space in the public realm. A master plan is to be developed for the green corridor L in Neuaubing, which will allow a variety of microclimatic events to be experienced.
