ReSPACE: Reclaiming Space
Runtime: 01.02.25-31.01.27
Projectlead: AIT (Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH)
Projectpartners: N Vision Software GmbH, Studio iSPACE RSA FG, SC Concepts, Digital Findet Stadt
Austria is one of the countries with the highest level of sealed surfaces in the world. The large number of single-family homes uses up the land for infrastructure in the vast rural area – roads, supermarkets, shopping centers and other supply units, each with ample parking spaces. Even in urban areas, unused land from abandoned industry and vacant businesses is often not used because “green field” construction is still cheaper than the systematic development and conversion of sealed areas.
In order to counteract the massive negative effects on the microclimate in inner-city areas and a rapidly advancing decline in our available green spaces, which are urgently needed for climate impact mitigation, the “ReSpace – Reclaiming Spaces” project is developing methods for identifying space potential and catalogs of measures for unsealing, conversion and circular construction logistics.
ReSpace is developing a prototype for the semi-automated identification of urban space potential with regard to the following use cases:
– Evaluation of unsealing potential
– Use of sealed surfaces for innovative logistics concepts (e.g. temporary storage areas and construction logistics centers in the sense of the circular economy)
– Conversion of sealed areas
The aim is to achieve faster activation of unused, sealed areas or a conversion of the areas.
