Urban Redevelopment under Consideration of Climatological Aspects

Abstract

The renewal of the inner city in Kassel should take place with knowledge of the ecological data as background to improve the living conditions of the people in respect to bioclimate and air pollution. Within the inner city of Kassel exist quite different micriclimatic conditions in dependence of the city structure. From this proposals could be conducted how open spaces can be reconstructed to improve the urban climate. One result of this investigation was the fact, that improvements of the climatic conditions can be done on a very small scale, as specially the daily and annual variation differs much within a small area.
