Dreso+ Sustainable EN Blue City – Integrated Urban Solutions ECONOMY, ECOLOGY AND TECHNOLOGY WITH AN EXCELLENT QUALITY OF LIFE AND ENVIRONMENT Our lives have changed radically in recent decades: We have become more mobile and the work environment is undergoing profound change. At the same time, demographic shifts and migration pose major challenges for cities and local authorities. Worldwide, ever more people live in cities, where the effects of climate change, such as global heating, are more pronounced than in rural areas. We therefore need new, interdisciplinary approaches to urban development to master the challenges that lie ahead. With the ‘Blue City – Integrated Urban Solutions’ suite of services, Drees & Sommer bundles its comprehensive urban development expertise for the development of specific solutions for the future. To be future-proof, these solutions have to include holistic concepts to deal with a wide range of stress factors. This includes taking the economic, ecological, functional, social and esthetic aspects of urban spaces into account: NUMEROUS STRESSORS IMPACT OUR CITIES: Energy How do we generate, transport and store energy? How can we use efficient technologies to save energy? How can we improve cost-efficiency and safety? Which sites should we use for energy generation? Climate How do we make global warming manageable? How will future-proof buildings with a minimized carbon footprint – and with a beneficial footprint in the medium and long term – contribute to the solution? How do we implement climate-adapted construction? Resources How do we ensure a responsible approach to resources – for example, in terms of land use and the use of ecological materials for fitout? How do we organize material recycling, as with the Cradle to Cradle® approach? 01 - 08 WE NEED YOUR CONSENT TO LOAD THE YOUTUBE SERVICE!

They form the space in which people live and work. This is where social networks are created, urban infrastructures operate, and urban development and architectural visions are developed. So the ultimate goal must be to achieve effects and synergies that promote sustainability in urban development. Solutions are required that combine economy, ecology and technology, and that meet the requirements for an excellent quality of life and environment. How can this be achieved? Urban districts can be restructured and optimized through innovative approaches. New projects involving densification or the development of disused sites offer an opportunity to implement pioneering solutions. Equally, established neighborhoods must be upgraded, for example by improving the energy efficiency of buildings. TECHNICAL MASTER PLANNING 1 Groundwork and analysis Discuss relevant legislation and standards Consolidate in fact sheet Include all project-relevant basics Evaluate associated factors Outcome: Thorough assessment of current situation 2 Goals and strategy Develop guidelines and define goals and added value for the project Joint workshop with the principal Outcome: Clear objectives, criteria and indicators, as well as a process to track project objectives 3 Scale and solution level Examine goals based on the solution approach Develop and calculate various technical development scenarios Adopt a broad area of investigation for each goal Outcome: Overview of the investigated area for each goal and/or medium as specification for the downstream process 01 - 07 ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT WITH INTEGRATED STRATEGIES Drees & Sommer initiates, plans and manages holistic development and renewal processes – in other words processes that take all relevant fields into account. This approach can apply to entire cities or urban districts, or to individual buildings and properties. Ideally, we get involved before our customers start project development. This enables us to achieve the best possible outcomes for all parties involved. For decades, Drees & Sommer has been synonymous with development consulting and the successful planning and management of complex real estate and infrastructure management projects. Are you a developer or officer responsible in local government? If so, we would be delighted to support you with our know-how and offer you the following benefits: Specialist consultations (microclimate simulations, space syntax analyses, energy simulations, etc.) Innovative solutions delivered by our network of experts and involvement in research and development projects (Smart City Demonstrator) Sustainability consulting, including district and real estate certification with experienced auditors for all labels (DGNB, LEED, BREEAM, etc.) Analysis of urban development design drafts and projects (requirements specification, design guidelines, potential analyses) Expert advice and planning (technical master plan, energy and climate protection and climate change adaptation concepts, lifecycle assessment, lifecycle costing, simulations, mobility concepts, etc.) To find out why certification of sustainable urban districts pays off, see the DGNB publication ‘Added value of certified districts’. BLUE CITY REFERENCES SQUARE, Mannheim The conversion of the former Benjamin Franklin barracks into a sustainable residential and Commercial district marks a step into the future for the city of Mannheim, undertaken in partnership with Drees & Sommer. Building on climate protection goals, the modern pecinct will feature innovations in the areas of energy efficiency, energy generation, smart grids and electromobility. 01 - 04 HELPFUL TOOLS: DIGITIZATION AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT EN-easy BlueIndex (contact us) Smart City Demonstrator (contact us) Blue City App BACK TO Top Aspiration Sectors News Projects Company Career Press Contact Privacy policy Cookie Settings Legal notice Copyright © 2020 Drees & Sommer | Sitemap Follow us Diese Seite nutzt Website Tracking-Technologien von Dritten, um ihre Dienste anzubieten, stetig zu verbessern und Werbung entsprechend der Interessen der Nutzer anzuzeigen.
