WINTER SEMESTER 23/24

In this lecture we will cover how urban spaces can be analyzed through a feminist lense. While this lecture includes some bits of theory, it will also feature the perspectives on cities of the research participants Julia worked with in the past. What makes a city liveable for them? How do they use the space?

Julia Schinnenburg is a Human Geographer interested in all things cities: Politics, infrastructure and most importantly their citizens’ daily lives. In the past she studied how urban youth can be better included in urban planning processes. For her latest research project she looked at how infrastructure affects women in their work. Through her work she hopes to contribute to a more accurate urban theory, that represents the experiences of all people that are present in urban spaces. Finally, we will take a look at applied feminist urban theory in city planning.

  • Bidirectional charging in general and its role as an enabler for e-mobility in the energy system
  • Use cases and the assessment of profitability and CO2 emissions of smart and bidirectional charging from a user perspective
  • Challenges and opportunities of the technology in urban region.
Patrick Vollmuth is a researcher at FfE Munich, PhD Candidate at TUM and Master at RWTH University with background in Mechanical Engineering, Energy Systems and Renewable Energies. His research areas focus on analyzing of integration of flexibilities into the energy system for energy transition, flexibility of electric mobility for system stability and decarbonization.

The presentation investigates the crucial part that mobility hubs might play in transforming urban transportation. In order to improve connection, lessen congestion, and accelerate the development of smarter, greener cities, we explore the integration of diverse transport modes, with a special emphasis on micromobility. Join us on a journey into the transformative potential of mobility hubs and their vital role in the urban mobility landscape. 

Jonathan Gerz is a researcher with primary focus centers on the seamless integration of mobility and energy technologies to enhance urban connectivity, all while minimizing environmental impact. Possessing a background in engineering, his ultimate goal is to harness engineering principles to create more efficient and sustainable urban systems, thereby improving the quality of life in cities worldwide.

Cities are social, cultural, and economic hubs of humankind. In the 21st century, the proportion of humans living in urban areas is expected to surpass 70 % globally. At the same time, urban areas contribute to global warming with 80 % of all carbon dioxide emissions, they cause the overuse and degradation of natural resources and environmental quality in urban areas can be low. Urban nature is increasingly seen as a solution to these problems. Can it really deliver and how should urban areas be transformed into green cities of the future to become healthy places for people and the planet?

The talk will give insights into recent research of the Centre for Urban Nature and Climate Adaptation at TUM, our Urban Forest Research Group, and the newly established Research Training Group “Urban Green Infrastructure – Training Next Generation Professionals for Integrated Urban Planning Research” to address these questions.

Prof. Dr. Stephan Pauleit is a professor of Strategic Landscape Planning and Management at TUM. Urban ecology, the planning and governance of green infrastructure and nature-based solutions, adaptation strategies to climate change in the urban environment, urban forestry, and trees are his main areas of research. 
At present, he is the director of the “Centre for Urban Ecology and Climate Adaptation” at the Technical University of Munich. The Centre has given new insights into integrated strategies for climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Die Klimakrise ist die größte Bedrohung für unsere Welt, wie wir sie kennen. Wollen wir die Lebensgrund- lagen unserer Kinder bewahren, brauchen wir schon in einer halben Generation eine Energieversorgung ausschließlich auf Basis erneuerbarer Energien. Die Wissenschaft und die Industrie haben für uns die Lösungen entwickelt. Handeln müssen wir alle gemeinsam.

Und wollen wir das Pariser Klimaschutzabkommen mit dem maximal +1,5oC-Ziel noch einhal- ten und die schlimmsten Folgen der Klimakatstrophe vermeiden, brauchen wir in Deutsch- land bereits im Jahr 2035 eine klimaneutrale Energieversorgung. Reicht dazu die Energie von Sonne und Wind aus? Sind Elektroautos wirklich umweltfreundlich? Was bringt das Wärmeplanungs- und das Gebäude-Energie-Gesetz? Und die viel gepriesenen Wärme- pumpen? Ist Wasserstoff wirklich der Heilsbringer – wie politisch behauptet? Was können wir selber tun, unsere Lebensgewohnheiten – nicht nur bei der Energienutzung – zu ändern, auch wenn es nicht leichtfällt? Das sind die Eingangsfragen.

Deutschland versagt beim Klimaschutz: Die Energiekrise hat zu keinen nennenswerten Minderungen der Kohlendioxidemissionen geführt. Sind schon die gesetzlichen Treibhausgas-Reduktionsziele der Bundesregierung deutlich zu matt, so werden sie ja auch Jahr für Jahr nicht erreicht – dabei hält die Bundesregierung ihre eigenen Gesetze nicht ein! Auf FDP-Druck hat das Bundeskabinett mit einem „Klimagesetz für Klima- verschmutzer“ (Quaschning) das Aufweichen des Klimaschutz-Gesetz beschlossen – welches aufgrund des seinerzeitigen „Klimaschutz-Urteils“ des Bundesverfassungsgerichts, April 2021, gerade erst verschärft werden musste. Weil der Bundesverkehrsminister im Verkehrssektor nicht wirk- lich Treibhausgase reduzieren will, sollen nun andere Sektoren zusätzlich sparen. Nur wird auch dieser Plan nicht funktionieren, weil künftig alle Sektoren ihre Ziele reißen werden.

Der Anteil erneuerbarer Energien am deutschen Bruttostromverbrauch hat im Jahresdurchschnitt 2022 zwar erfreulicherweise über 46 Prozent erreicht, vier Prozentpunkte mehr als 2021. Was einerseits an günstigem Wetter für Photovoltaik- und Windkraftanlagen lag. Andererseits wurde im Schatten der Energie- krise – insbesondere im Sektor privater Haushalte – durchaus weniger Strom verbraucht. Für einen wirk- samen Klimaschutz muss ein Anteil von 100 % regenerative Energien aber bereits 2035, jedenfalls deutlich (!) vor 2040 angestrebt werden. Dazu muss das Ausbautempo erneuerbarer Energien sowohl bei Strom als auch bei Wärme allerdings erheblich gesteigert werden. Das Einhalten des Pariser Klimaschutzabkommens ist mit dem bislang immer noch niedrigen Zubau nicht möglich.

Wie der Einstieg in den Ausstieg aus der Klimakatastrophe dennoch gelingen kann, warum wir dafür eine echte Energierevolution brauchen – und zwar JETZT! – und welche globalen und hiesigen Folgen beim Scheitern drohen, das erläutert einer der weltweit führenden Experten für Regenerative Energien.
Und da wird es wohl viel nachzufragen geben…

Prof. Dr. Ing. habil. Volker Quaschning seit 2004 im Fachbereich Regenerative Energiesysteme der Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft (HTW), Berlin, und dessen Sprecher; Studium E-Technik am KIT Karlsruhe, Promotion und Habilitation an der TU Berlin; danach Projektleiter beim Deutschen Zentrum für Luft- und Raum- fahrt; Initiator der Bewegung „Scientists For Future“ (S4F).

Sand is the unsung hero of our cities. It is used in myriad ways not only to create composite materials such as concrete and glass but also behind the scenes in many industrial processes. However, the scale and pace of extraction is far beyond what can be produced responsibly and is leaving behind massive social-ecological impacts in many parts of the world. What compounds the problem is that sand and gravel are non-renewable resources in human timescales and not every kind of sand is suitable for use in the current industrial system. Join us to explore how we can build our cities and provide for development needs in a sustainable or even regenerative manner.

Kiran Pereira is a PhD Researcher at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University. Her research focuses on risks and opportunities of sand for global sustainability. She is the author of the book Sand Stories: Surprising Truths about the Global Sand Crisis and the Quest for Sustainable Solutions and the Founder of SandStories.org. Her work has previously been featured in the award-winning documentary Sand Wars and media such as The Economist, BBC Radio5, Al Jazeera, Financial Times, ZDF Magazin Royale, CNBC digital among others.

The awareness for new work approaches in organizations has also an impact on our educational institutions and their spatial structures. To foster agile, interdisciplinary, and problem-seeking skills among future professionals, there is a need for spaces that are open and adaptable, yet convey the identity and values of the institution and environment. These spaces empower students to explore and engage; they support them in applying knowledge collaboratively and creating responsible solutions. The physical space becomes a guide and motivator, a medium for innovation. With the technological advancements for hybrid realities, for prototyping and testing, we may have now the chance, to turn visions on the future of work from the 1960s into reality. And shape our urban futures. 

Christos Chantzaras is architect and researcher. He has been working at the interface of organizational development, innovation processes, and physical spaces for over 15 years. After international projects in Europe and Asia, he is researching and teaching at the Technical University of Munich since 2017. He investigates future competencies, new methods of innovation management and the requirements for future of work, for future of education and for sustainable urban spaces. Since 2023, he has been member of the “Community of Practice” for Learning Architectures at the Stifterverbandes für die Deutsche Wissenschaft. In parallel, he has installed together with Tobias Förtsch the TUM Venture Lab for the Built Environment, where he acts as managing director to leverage the innovation potential residing in the research and studies of architecture and civil engineering.

The way we live, work, and play is very different today than it was just a few decades ago, thanks in large part to a network of connectivity that now encompasses most people on the planet. In a similar way, today we are at the beginning of a new technological revolution: the Internet is entering the physical space – the traditional domain of architecture and design – becoming an “Internet of Things” or IoT. As such, it is opening the door to a variety of applications that – in a similar way to what happened with the first wave of the Internet – can encompass many domains: from production to citizen participation, from energy to mobility to public hygiene, all of which requiring new insights due to the changes brought forth by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.  The contribution from Prof. Carlo Ratti will address these issues from a critical point of view through projects by the Senseable City Laboratory, a research initiative at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the design office Carlo Ratti Associati.

An architect and engineer by training, Professor Carlo Ratti teaches at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he directs the Senseable City Lab, and is a founding partner of the international design and innovation office Carlo Ratti Associati.

In our workshop, we use simple calculations to get to the bottom of the following questions:

What is the difference between terawatts and terawatt-hours?

How much energy do I need? How much can I take out of the earth?

How can I estimate my carbon footprint?

What measures can I take, what measures must society and business take to ensure the freedom of future generations?

 Psyche and Physis are ancient Greek words that  are connected to the relationship between cognition of self dimension and environment. Climate change today is unexpectedly connecting this two concepts under a psychological condition related to the perception of an environmental phenomenon: ecoanxiety. How it can be framed into a renewed vision of human health connected to environment? This is particularly true for young generations that are more senstitive and affected by ecoanxiety, in a sort of evolutive trend being the world citizen of tomorrow.

Climate scientists agree that the climate crisis poses an existential threat to humanity. Although this knowledge has now reached large parts of society, the collective climate protection measures taken are far from sufficient. What is holding back policy makers, society, and individuals from taking action? The talk will introduce various cognitive action barriers, such as the principle of cognitive dissonance, the bystander effect or the single action bias.

Clara Kühner studied psychology at LMU Munich (B. Sc.) and Bamberg University (M. Sc.). During this time, she held internships in various organizations in the fields of personal development and personnel selection.

Prof. Balensiefen studied law and philosophy at the university of Tübingen where he received his doctoral grade too. Since more than two decades he practices as a Professor of Environmental, Building and Planning Law at the University of Applied Sciences in Biberach. There he established several years ago a climate protection management and a climate protection concept for the University in the program of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment “National Climate Initiative” (https://www.hochschule-biberach.de/campusklimaneutral).

Considering the global anthropogenic climate change with its man-made consequences, questions of motivation and means for taking actions arise:

Are we taking actions for reaching certain goals or are we acting to ease our personal conscience, to feel good or at least better? And: Does it mean that acting together requires that members of acting groups pursue the same purposes?

Depending on the positioning, the instruments of taking actions differ widely: should we move only within the frame of legal possibilities, or is there a concept of justice which legitimates even illegal behaviour? Or does the end, in the sense of preventing the world conflagration, justifies the means? And: What is the role of the scientific community in this? The operating system of science is, first, gaining and generating correct knowledge. Therefore, the theory-practice problem is inherent in it. But already in the Middle Ages the task of the professional faculties (jurisprudence, medicine and theology) was the practical implementation of knowledge, and modern professional faculties like engineering sciences, as well, are unthinkable without the perspectives of practical implementation. On the other hand, are there limits for the duty, or at least the allowance, to take actions in line with our scientifically based knowledge? In the normative scale, there is a broad range going from legal correctness over stressing the boundaries of legal admissibility up to civil disobedience or even violence towards objects or against people.

There is no panacea for all of these problems, but there is the possibility for critical differentiation and for drawing up crash barriers, which should help to prevent mispositioning that neither leads to achieve the overall goals nor to personal self- fulfilment.

Climate policy today is facing both an ambition and an implementation gap. We need to realize that today’s decisions affect future generations and limit their options for action.
In the EU, we have committed to climate neutrality and net negative after 2050. With “Fit for 55”, probably the most important and comprehensive climate protection program has been launched. But there is no time for “regulatory fatigue”; the ESABCC recently launched the next phase of climate policy with its proposal on a 2040 climate target and GHG budget 2030-50. The question is whether the EU climate architecture is fit for net-zero. Climate neutrality means that residual emissions have to be balanced by removals. For this we need a new governance system (esp. due to non-permanence of many CDR options). The 21st century will have planetary waste management as a core task. The EU needs new institutions to cope with this challenge, especially a European Carbon Central Bank.

Niclas-Alexander Mauß is Co-Founder of CIRCULAR REPUBLIC at UnternehmerTUM, Europe’s largest center for start-ups and innovation. Over 10 years, he helped shape the transformation of Lorenz, a SME technology manufacturer, into a multiple award-winning pioneer of Circular Economy, including the German Innovation Award for Climate and Environment. He then initiated the CirculaTUM research network in 2020 as part of his doctorate at TUM and expanded it to become the largest of its kind in Germany, while at the same time managing an incubator at UnternehmerTUM. With CIRCULAR REPUBLIC, he connects UnternehmerTUM ecosystem together with large companies, SMEs and startups on the industrial and societal transformation to a Circular Economy.

With around 50 % of GHG emissions and 90 % of biodiversity loss linked to the extraction and processing of natural resources, the transformation of industry and society to a circular economy is key for the protection of climate and ecosystems. But even more than this, circularity is also a major factor for supply security and technological souvereignity in Europe and beyond. In his talk, Niclas-Alexander Mauss will give an introduction to the concept of a circular economy, show up action fields and potentials including examples from industry and startups, and explain in a deep diving case-study, how companies can transform themselves to circularity.
