In cities, the resource "area" is a coveted commodity: companies need space to do business, citizens are looking for recreational and residential space, and urban planning must take precautions against heavy rainfall events. In this context, commercial areas can play an important role. WILA Bonn, together with the Technical University of Darmstadt, the University of Osnabrück and the Global Nature Fund, has tested how sustainable design of existing commercial areas can succeed in three cities: Remscheid, Marl and Frankfurt am Main. This brochure summarises how the tested measures can also be implemented in other cities.
