Es gibt kaum Beispiele für eine bürgergetragene urbane Energiewende zu Positive Energy Districts (PEDs). Trotz verfügbarer Energiesimulationstools bleibt die Anpassung an PEDs für Kommunen schwierig, was das EU-Ziel von 100 PEDs bis 2025 hemmt. DigiTwins4PEDs schließt diese Lücke durch innovative Forschung und partizipative Prozesse, bei denen Bürger*innen und Interessengruppen in Co-Design, Co-Creation und Co-Learning einbezogen werden. Hybride Partizipation und Urban Digital Twins (UDT) fördern Beteiligung und ermöglichen Bürger*innen, die lokale Energiewende aktiv mitzugestalten.

Rising urban temperatures due to climate change, limited green spaces, and dense urban areas impact public health and human well-being, highlighting the need for innovative grey infrastructure solutions where conventional green spaces are not feasible. This study aims to bridge the gap between objectively measured and perceived benefits of urban heat mitigation by combining social and technological methods within socio-ecological systems. First, a literature review of 759 articles, with 64 meeting the review criteria, and a bibliometric analysis examined the recent extensive research on participation and the connections between participation, resilience, and sustainability. Second, a chain of evidence as a qualitative method demonstrated how Active Bottom Surface Cooling (ABSC) can enhance outdoor thermal comfort (OTC). This emphasised the importance of participatory innovation and novel cooling technologies for urban resilience: hybrid (digital and analogue) participation can raise the awareness, acceptance, and effectiveness of such technical innovations. It revealed the need for an integrated framework, leveraging synergies: (1) community engagement tailors solutions to urban needs, (2) adaptability ensures effectiveness across diverse settings, (3) improved thermal comfort enhances citizen well-being, and (4) resilience strengthens the climate change response. By conceptualising cities as urban systems, the integrated framework fosters reciprocal socio-ecological benefits between people, nature, and the environment. Through hybrid participation and ABSC, it boosts community engagement, OTC, and well-being for sustainable urban development.

Es gibt kaum partizipative Studien zum Zusammenspiel von Stadtraum und Wohlbefinden von Kindern und Jugendlichen (KiJu). Hier setzt das transdisziplinäre Projekt SURe21 an. Das Nordbahnhofviertel steht durch Stuttgart 21 vor städtebaulichen und gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen: Wie können Bestands- und Neubaugebiet gemeinsam nachhaltig mit Fokus auf menschlichem Wohlbefinden entwickelt werden? Eine Quartiersanalyse im Mixed-Methods-Ansatz (Online-Umfrage, Magnettafelspiel, Interview, Fokusgruppen) erfasste die Wünsche junger Menschen für eine klimagerechte Stadtentwicklung.
