Abstract

The UN estimates that 80 % of the world’s population will be living in cities by 2050. Climate change, environmental destruction, and urbanization constantly form new challenges as well as change existing ones. Climate forecasts predict grave consequences from heat waves, floods, heavy rains, and storms by the end of the 21st century (World Bank in Building urban resilience: principles, tools and practice. The World Bank Group, Washington, 2012).

Notes

  1. 1.

    This impact is estimated at 15–20 %. A comprehensive study of various housing development models is conducted at TU Darmstadt in the research project UrbanReNet under the coordination of Professors Manfred Hegger and Jörg Dettmar.

  2. 2.

    Light-colored surfaces improve the daylight qualities of both interior and exterior spaces. A lower albedo means a reduction in the heating-up of surfaces, avoidance of microinversion, and improved ventilation of an urban space.
