Adapting Settlements to Climate Change: Transforming Former Industrial Areas Along Rivers in Germany into Resilient Mixed-Use Real Estate
(Inštitut za nepremičninske vede, Ukmarjeva 6, 1000 Ljubljana, 2024)
Climate change poses numerous threats in urban areas, such as heatwaves, reduced air quality, ecosystem disturbance, etc. For city areas located along rivers there is an increased risk of more frequent and intense flooding. Various riverside industrial zones in German cities were redeveloped into mixed-use areas in the post-industrial era. Therefore, this paper investigates the challenges faced by these new settlements, such as flood management, ecosystem protection, water pollution reduction, provision of public spaces, enhancement of urban aesthetics, and their connection to the real estate market on the local level. For research purposes, three projects from the German context are elaborated: Hamburg (HafenCity project), Heilbronn (Neckarbogen project), and Basel-Huningue-Weil am Rhein (3Land project). This qualitative research applies a case study approach to analyze historical documents, scientific literature, planning documents, and urban and architectural projects, thus identifying correlations among historical, spatial, social, and economic factors that influenced these redevelopments. To collect context-specific data, case study visits were conducted. Findings indicate that flood and social resilience are issues addressed in riverbank settlements through multifunctional public space design. Equal efforts are made in architectural innovation in the design of the buildings, which is highly important when adapting settlements to climate change effectively. A significant contribution is the improvement of connection of the redeveloped areas to the broader urban fabric of the respective cities. Furthermore, the newly redeveloped areas play an important role in improving the city's overall image while successfully integrating elements of its industrial heritage. Finally, this research develops valuable recommendations for policymakers, urban planners, and stakeholders involved in the development of real estate in riverside areas.

Riverfront redevelopments pose significant challenges in achieving effective flood resilience. The success of riverfront design relies on a strategic combination of measures. Levees, floodwalls, and drainage systems are known as structural measures and help mitigate immediate flood risks, while non-structural approaches, such as land-use planning, policy frameworks, and community engagement, focus on offering long-term, adaptive strategies. Over the past three decades, developments in Hamburg, Germany, have integrated structural and non-structural measures into their flood management strategies. Even though there are exemplary models of effective riverfront design in Germany, there is a lack of research regarding the specific design decisions that contribute to their success. Additionally, the roles and influences of human and non-human actors in shaping flood-resilient designs are insufficiently researched. This paper investigates the actors involved in the implementation of either structural or non-structural interven tions for flood resilience in the riverfront redevelopment in HafenCity in Hamburg. Using actor mapping and visual network analysis, the research identifies key human and non-human actors involved in the process. Furthermore, the mapping examined their influence on decision-making in the redevelopment of the riverfront. Actor mapping and visual network analysis provide valuable insights into the strength and type of relationships that shape the development and implementation of flood resilience strategies. Data planning documents, project documentation, and regulatory frameworks was used to construct an actor-network map. The analysis points out that HafenCity’s flood strategy relies on a three-part core: the City of Hamburg, which sets the rules; HafenCity Hamburg GmbH enforces the rules in every land sale; and the Warft (elevated ground) model that translates law into concrete defence works. This paper provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the interplay of actors that influence the use of structural or non-structural measures for flood resilience in riverfront redevelopment in HafenCity.

Graphic statics in the digital age: A critical review of current methods and trends

<jats:p>Graphic statics is a method for analyzing and designing structures based on the geometric representation of equilibrium conditions, where both forces and structural forms are depicted through reciprocal diagrams. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the development, application, and current state of graphic statics, with particular emphasis on its computational and three-dimensional extensions. Although the fundamentals of graphic statics date back to the 18th century, there has been a resurgence in interest in the field throughout the last three decades, primarily due to improvements in digital modeling and visualization tools. The review is structured into three main sections: the historical evolution of graphic statics and its entry into computational domains; an overview of form-finding methods and their integration into design workflows; and the role of graphic statics as a form-finding method in generating spatial, three-dimensional funicular forms. The paper concludes by identifying key research gaps and arguing for further development of graphic statics as a powerful tool for both architectural exploration and structural optimization.</jats:p>
