Project description
Rapid Planning
Rapid Planning: Sustainable infrastructure, environmental and resource management for highly dynamic metropolitan regions
Rapid Planning is an action-oriented joint research project of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), developed on the basis of the results of the BMBF-funded Future Megacities Research Program and supported by the DLR project management agency. The overall project is coordinated by AT-Verband.
The basic objective of Rapid Planning is to develop a comprehensive methodology that makes it possible to adapt urban infrastructure planning quickly to the needs of a rapidly growing population. The project focuses on supply and disposal infrastructure, especially water, wastewater, energy, waste and urban agriculture.
A toolkit developed within the project, consisting of instruments, methods and guidelines, is being made available to cities worldwide. Roadmaps and guidelines provide detailed application notes for different planning phases from conceptualisation through implementation to monitoring.
Highlights
- Toolkit with instruments, methods and guidelines for cities worldwide.
- Cross-sector focus on water, wastewater, energy, waste and urban agriculture.
- Practical transfer of methods, including further application in Belmopan, Belize.
