Strategies for lowering the net land take in Germany and selected countries in the EUIn Germany, the net land take in 2020 was 54 Hectares per day – mostly used for housing, industry and commerce (excluding extraction areas), public facilities. The German National Sustainability Strategy set the goal to reduce the net land take to 30 Hectares per day in 2020. This political goal was failed by far. The current political goal is to reduce the net land take to below 30 Hectares per day in 2030. Therefore, it is important for local planning authorities (municipalities) to change their strategies in urban development planning (e.g. brownfield development instead of greenfield development). In this thesis, different strategies and approaches for reducing the net land take used for urban development planning should be analysed and compared.Led by: Jörn Bannert, Winrich VoßTeam:Year: 2024Duration: 09/2024 - 03/2025

Qualitative comparison of the products "Deutschlandatlas" and "Landatlas" for different user groupsIn Germany, two web-based products are available: “Deutschlandatlas” and “Landatlas”. These products are available for different groups of user. These resources are very valuable in a lot of different circumstances. The question that different user-groups are constantly asking themselves is which one is the best for their specific purpose. The aim of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis of the “Deutschlandatlas” and “Landatlas” focusing on their data, thematic coverage, actuality, geographical specificity and user interface design.Led by: Robin Dankowski, Jörn Bannert, Winrich VoßTeam:Year: 2024Duration: 03/2024 - 09/2024

Strategic Municipal Heat Planning for Climate-Friendly and Cost-Efficient Heat SupplyGermany aims to have climate-neutral heating by 2045. Municipal heating planning informs citizens and businesses whether they can expect a district heating connection or should opt for another climate-friendly heating option. The Heat Planning Act came into force together with the Renewable Heating Act on January 1st 2024. The Heat Planning Act came into force together with the amendment to the Building Energy Act on January 1st 2024. Both laws will help to achieve the climate targets in 2045. For the first time, all cities and municipalities in Germany will have local heat planning. This will give citizens, companies and energy suppliers certainty as to whether and which centralised heat supply they can count on locally.Led by: Jörn Bannert, Winrich VoßTeam:Year: 2024Duration: 03/2024 - 09/2024
