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. We chose Ackermannbogen as a project-case study, more than a reality-case study, because it is a great project which was designed and currently being built and continually adjusted for the future. Our aim is to learn from such massive plan and to make our own proposals in the context of pre-designed but considering the factor of climate changing.
Landscape and/or urban context
In the late eighties, the city of Munich laid the foundation stone for a municipal policy committed to promoting renewable sources of energy by emphasising energy saving. As early as 1991, the Munich municipal council decided to concentrate on lowering CO2 emissions by 30% in 2005 and by 50% in 2010. So far, the City of Munich's climate protection policy has respected Kyoto protocol objectives even though this was not the case before they were defined.
Ackermannbogen district is situated within the context of the pre-planning area, Munich Olympic Park. Along with the whole concept of "Green Olympic Games" and the energy saving policy of Munich itself, Ackermannbogen specifically generates solar-powered local heating system with a seasonal heat storage facility has been developed for the Bavarian capital of Munich. The concept actually came from a competition of urban and landscape design ideas in 1998, conducted by the city of Munich. The central idea of the design was to create a community planner broad range of different types of housing - from double or terraced houses to apartment buildings.
Land use In 2014, the last section will be built in the southwest finished. Within the Urban Development Action Ackermannbogen will then be created to 39.5 hectares total the following:
