Area	Munich
Place	Ackermannbogen
Country	Germany
Topic	renewable energy application
Author(s)	Cenke Jiang, Andreea Pascu, Le Trang Nguyen

Rationale: Why have you selected this case study area?

• Munich is the capital city of Bavaria, one of Germany's three largest cities with the population of 1.42 million people and has the strongest economy of the whole country. This is a globally cosmopolitan city and also has the leading renewable energy policy.
• Ackermannbogen is a district of Munich particularly planned to be one of the front-runners of solar district heating. This is a part of the city's aim: 100% renewable energy for Munich in 2015. This area is a perfect practical example of building a green enery system and an innovative concept of intergrating solar heating machines with green space.

Authors' perspectives

• We all come from different background, but our aspirations meet where the climate is actually changing and we believe renewable energy and mitigation is the key solution for the future.

Landscape and/or urban context

• Biogeography, land use patterns, cultural features, overall character, history and dynamics
• ratio of green/blue and sealed/built-up areas
• Within the context of a pre-planning study, Ackermannbogen district is a concept for a solar-powered local heating system with a seasonal heat storage facility has been developed for the Bavarian capital of Munich. The area to be supplied is a part of the new housing estate planned for "am Ackermannbogen" near to the Olympia Park.
