Summary: Im Fokus dieser Veröffentlichung stehen fünf aufstrebende Megastädte und mega-urbane Regionen auf der ganzen Welt. In unterschiedlichen Klimazonen gelegen, von unterschiedlichen ökonomischen Entwicklungsbedingungen und politischen Rahmenbedingungen bestimmt, ist jede der Städte mit unterschiedlichen regionalen Herausforderungen konfrontiert. Ausgehend von diversen Fallstudien und Pilotprojekten, zeigt das Buch frühe Konzeptualisierungen und die weiterführende Organisation integrativer Raum- und Stadtplanung zu Gunsten nachhaltiger und energieeffizienterer Stadtstrukturen und einer Anpassung der Städte an die Klimaveränderungen.Summary: In focus of this volume are five emerging megacities and mega-urban regions across the globe. Located in different climatic areas, determined by different economic development conditions and political frameworks each city has to address different local challenges. Based on various case studies and pilot projects, the book shows the early conceptualisation and the further organisation of integrative spatial planning and urban design for sustainable and more energy-efficient urban structures and the adaptation of cities to climate change.
