Abstract

This project was carried out from December 2009 to November 2012 by a consortium of the non-profit institutes IZT - Institute for Futures Studies and Technology Assessment (project management) and Difu - German Institute of Urban Affairs as well as (only during the preliminary phase) FFU - Environmental Policy Research Centre of the Free University of Berlin. It was one of several parallel project activities and measures of the Federal Environment Agency and the Federal Environment Ministry to support the further differentiation and development of an integrated sustainability policy in the German environment ministry. The design of sustainable urban living environments was chosen as the thematic focus, as the integrated sustainability policy must be consistently reflected in the living environment perspective of citizens, consumers, employees, road users, etc.
