Protecting the climate, curbing land consumption: Students present proposals for more sustainable settlement and landscape development in the Kassel region

Climate, land use and biodiversity are interrelated

More and more land is being built on in Kassel and the surrounding communities. The demand for housing continues unabated. Precious agricultural soils are being lost. Habitats of animals and plants are being destroyed. Resource consumption is increasing and the consequences for the climate are problematic. Against this background, students of the Department of Architecture Urban Planning Landscape Planning at the University of Kassel have developed new concepts and planning strategies.

What needs to be done so that people can reach all important facilities in 15 minutes on foot or by bicycle and need fewer cars? How can a higher building density, green spaces that meet needs and a different mobility system be realized at the same time? And how does all of this relate to our food choices?
