Settlement structures can have very different sustainability impacts.

This is especially interesting to know when decisions need to be made – densify here or rebuild there? Where to rebuild? What to rebuild? How much mobility will this entail? And can this be done as sustainably as possible and in a way that is convenient and efficient for residents?

In the EE-Settlement research project, Norwegian research partners and the BOKU Institute of Spatial Planning, Environmental Planning, and Land Use Management are exploring these questions.

EE-Settlement

How can those involved incorporate sustainability impacts into their decision-making?

We make the findings interactively accessible for users from urban and regional planning – via a web-based solution.

The previous project should also be mentioned here: In the project “ZERsiedelt”, the urban sprawl was investigated – also in terms of energy and costs: www.zersiedelt.at – there is a video summarizing the research results, publications, and the “Grey Energy Calculator Housing”.
