Like many other cities, the city of Hof is facing the challenge of climate-adapted urban development. In this context, Hof University of Applied Sciences is working on the project "Verbund-ANK-DAS-B.1: Adapted urban land-use planning for water-sensitive urban district development in the city of Hof", which is dedicated to water-sensitive urban district development. The project is funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUV) and will run from 1 March 2025 to 31 August 2027. The funding is based on the "Measures to adapt to the consequences of climate change" guideline and is managed by Zukunft - Umwelt - Gesellschaft (ZUG) gGmbH as the project sponsor. The special significance of the project is emphasised by the cooperation of various experts. The Kompetenznetzwerk Wasser und Energie e.V. and M&S Umweltprojekt GmbH are contributing their expertise together with Hof University of Applied Sciences.
The project pursues a holistic approach to the development of sustainable urban districts using the specific example of the Trappenberg development area in Hof. The focus is on the development of an innovative urban land-use plan that is intended to serve as a model for future urban development projects.
Together with the project partners involved, a comprehensive concept is being developed that:
A particular focus is on the development of innovative rainwater treatment concepts, ranging from collection, drainage and storage to infiltration. The overarching goal is to create multifunctional, resilient urban districts that can serve as a model for sustainable urban development.
The research here is tough.
