The recent flood events in the German federal states Rhineland-Palatinate, North Rhine-Westphalia and Bavaria, as well as the extremely dry and hot summers of 2018 and 2019 in North America, Western Europe and East Asia have impressively shown that climate change is having a noticeable impact on life all over the planet. In view of the irreversibility of the changes in climate and environment that are already clearly emerging, the development and implementation of concrete adaptation strategies is absolutely necessary. At the Chair for Urban Climate Resilience, which was established in the winter semester 2021/2022, we are investigating the question of how urban spaces can be made more climate-resilient. In this context, climate resilience refers to the reduction of social vulnerability and the strengthening of social resilience in dealing with the consequences of global climate and environmental change.
