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:
- To present in detail on aspects (topics) related to the BGD project in which several PhD students are doing their PhD theses; and
- 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).
