The interdisciplinary project
is being conducted by a consortium of 3 operating partners: Department of
Landscape Architecture (Vienna UT), Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) and
the Department of Strategic Landscape Planning and Management (Munich UT). The study
aims to investigate how the detailed urban morphology is likely to influence
the changing urban climate, and to consider how appropriate mitigating
solutions can be designed and tailored to suit different situations. Using the
city of Vienna as an example, the project covers three main objectives: a) the
generation of typologies using GIS data and simulations, b) a research on
different design variants and their impact on microclimate and c) the dissemination
and discussion of the results leading to policy recommendation. The project is
being accompanied by an expert panel which comes together at the crucial
intersections of the work packages and discusses and comments on the interim
results. The project is still in progress.
