Abstract
This thesis project explores the imperative of strenghening Vienna's climate resilience through mitigating weather extremes and fostering knowledge of them by reimagining its current water and ecosystem dynamics. The central focus is on integrating a blue-green infrastructure into the urban environment and a just distribution of their services, thereby establishing a balanced coexistence with the ecosystem.
The objectives encompass mitigating pressing urban challenges such as the urban heat island effect and biodiversity loss, while fostering awareness of the symbiotic relationship between a healthy ecosystem and human well-being. These efforts are pivotal in the city's journey toward climate resilience and adapting to dynamic climate conditions.
The broader aspiration is to illuminate a path towards socially and environmentally sustainable urban transformations.
