Modern adaptation methods of Urban Areas to Climate Change – an innovation in development planning and desig

As a part of establishing a network of BGD Regional Centres, the BGD Project, in collaboration with the University of Banja Luka (Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering), plus industrial partners URBIS Center and CUV-BL, will be holding a seminar on: Modern adaptation methods of Urban Areas to Climate Change – an innovation in development planning and design.

The meeting is primarily intended for professionals and researchers in the field of urban planning and architectural design (urban infrastructure, environmental protection, agencies responsible for planning and building management and users of these systems). One of the goals of the seminar is to initiate the process for the introduction of new methods of urban planning in the Republic of Srpska.  A key activity will be the development of manuals (regulations) for new methods of urban planning and architectural design, as well as the support of their application in the Republic of Srpska.

Meeting will be held in Banja Luka, Thursday 19th December 2013 (09.30-13.30)

Venue: Congress Hall; Government Building of the Republic of Srpska; Trg Republike Srpske 1.

BGD Workshop on the Impacts of Blue-Green Solutions on and Interactions with Spatial Planning

A workshop is planned to take place on the 9th of October in Berlin after the BGD Annual Meeting on “the Impacts of Blue-Green Solutions on and interactions with, spatial planning: Adaptation for climate change in new developments and retrofitting”

The purpose of the workshop is to build a network between the BGD PhD students, and to coordinate the kick-start the new BGD research related to interactions of modelling and planning.  The topic is selected to be narrow enough so that a one day event could meet two objectives:

1. To present in detail on aspects (topics) related to the BGD project in which several PhD students are doing their PhD theses; and
2. Detailed discussion on how to “sharpen” their research so that it has best benefit to the BGD project in interactions with leading European designers/spatial planners.

The above goals will be achieved by interactions between:

• Leading spatial planners/designers from Europe who will present the philosophy used in their Blue-Green related successful projects.
• BGD work package leaders & academic partners who will provide links between planners and the project, to facilitate the refinement of PhD research.
• BGD PhD students who will bring posters summarising their projects to facilitate discussion. (Poster requirements will be issued separately and must be submitted in advance of the workshop).
