It’s Getting Hot! Climate Change in the City: Symposium

PROGRAMME

Session 1, Decarbonised!

Many paths lead to the so-called decarbonization of buildings. This is not only about operation - such as electricity, heating, ventilation - but also about the "gray energy" of the raw materials for the construction of the building itself and its life cycle.

• Johannes Zeininger, architect and joint owner of SMART Block Geblergasse
• Barbara Buser, baubüro in situ, on the reuse of structural elements and materials (CH)
• Norbert Mayr, architecture historian, initiator and co-developer of MGG22 — Wohnen morgen
• Florian Nagler, Florian Nagler Architekten, on 3 houses in Bad Aibling (DE)

Session 2, panel discussion: The Viennese Context

What are the climate targets of the City of Vienna? In which time horizon are they to be achieved? How can the formulation of the goals support the achievement of the goals? What processes are needed to bring about the transformation with the population and not against it? What do the climate strategies of other European cities look like?

Part 1: What Are The Targets We Have To Meet?

• Heinz Buschmann, programme manager, Klima- und Energiefonds
• Kurt Hofstetter, coordinator, IBA_Vienna

Part 2: How Can We Achieve Our Goals?

Moderated by Franziska Leeb, architecture publicist

Session 3: Climate Change in the City

Consideration at the district level: How does climate-resilient city work? Can we adapt the densely built city to climate change? Can we learn from southern cities? What is the basis for mobility in a climate-neutral city? How do we achieve climate justice for all city residents?

• Tanja Tötzer, Thematic Coordinator, AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH, on LiLa4Green
• Martin Berchtold, berchtoldkrass space&options / Kaiserslautern University of Technology, on The Climate Adaptation Concepts in Karlsruhe, Freiburg (DE) and Zurich (CH)
