Research Results

The objective of the research projects funded within the research focus of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research “Future Megacities“ is to develop applicable solutions for sustainable urbanisation. A representative selection of products and processes which have been implemented locally in the partner cities have been documented in fact sheets.
Each project has one “project brief“ describing the overall project as well as several “action briefs“ focussing on individual measures realised on the local level. The fact sheets are arranged by projects and classified by cross-cutting topics 
ENERGY, MOBILITY, RESSOURCES, CAPACITIES, PLANNING, GOVERNANCE. 

All contents are based on the descriptions provided by the related research projects reflecting the state of work as of September 2012 and May 2013.
