Participatory project with a focus on the environment
The participatory project focused on the development of innovative future projects around the topics of environment and water in Darmstadt.
Darmstadt is struggling with the consequences of climate change. They range from increasing water scarcity, drought, and urban warming to flooding. A variety of measures can be taken to counteract this development. These include collecting rainwater, watering trees in a targeted manner, creating green spaces – even on facades or roofs. For the implementation of such measures, the entire urban society is needed.
In a 24-hour hackathon, solutions to three concrete challenges were developed together with citizens. They are now being incorporated into Darmstadt’s strategy phase in the new smart city funding program “Smart Water Darmstadt”.

The project is completed.
