Abstract
Because of the special topographical and orographically situation of the City of Stuttgart lying in a basin surrounded by hills, urban climate in urban planning has a long tradition since 1938. The global climate change is an additional challenge. In this chapter first there is a summary of the instruments and basics that are used to take into account urban climate in urban planning. Besides of measurements and numeric calculations an important point is the Urban Climate Atlas with a lot of thematic maps with climate information and with planning hints, which allow the city planners to take care of climate in planning and microclimate modelling. Subsequently some best practice examples of climate in urban planning are demonstrated with the aspects of green in the city, ventilation of the city, climate-optimised inner city development and climate-optimised construction of public spaces. Concrete measures shown are green belts, roadside greenery, green rails, green roofs and fresh air corridors. At the same time successful methods and procedures are revealed implementing these issues. It is described how urban climate is established in the Stuttgart city administration affecting or controlling administration activities. Finally the chapter deals with the question of important climate legislation possibilities, success factors and obstacles to take into account climate in urban planning.
