Climate Workshop Bochum – Review & Presentations
"Urban Planning in Times of Climate Change – Measures and Modelling"
Parkhotel Bochum | 24 June 2025
To mark the five-year anniversary of our Ruhr region office in Bochum, we hosted a climate workshop on 24 June 2025 at the Parkhotel Bochum. Representatives from public administration, urban planning, science, and practice came together to exchange ideas and explore solutions related to urban and local climate challenges.
The workshop focused on the following topics:
- Climate adaptation in urban and regional planning
- Tools and strategies for climate-resilient urban design
- Urban climate modelling using the PALM-4U model
We sincerely thank all speakers and participants for the inspiring exchange and the many valuable insights!
