Blue City – Integrated Urban Solutions
Economy, ecology and engineering combined with high-quality living and environment
Demographic trends, migration, digitisation and climate change mean that cities and local government authorities, along with private project developers, must come up with new ideas for developing urban districts. Drees & Sommer can develop and plan the technical infrastructure for an entire city, district by district, as well as for individual buildings.
We therefore need new, interdisciplinary approaches to urban development to master the challenges that lie ahead. With the ‘Blue City – Integrated Urban Solutions’ suite of services, Drees & Sommer bundles its comprehensive urban development expertise for the development of specific solutions for the future.
To be future-proof, these solutions have to include holistic concepts to deal with a wide range of stress factors. This includes taking the economic, ecological, functional, social and esthetic aspects of urban spaces into account:

NUMEROUS STRESS FactORS IMPACT OUR CITIES:
CHALLENGE FOR MODERN URBAN DEVELOPMENT
Urban districts play a key role in the transformation of society as it moves towards greater sustainability. They form the space in which people live and work. This is where social networks are created, urban infrastructures operate, and urban development and architectural visions are developed.
So the ultimate goal must be to achieve effects and synergies that promote sustainability in urban development. Solutions are required that combine economy, ecology and technology, and that meet the requirements for an excellent quality of life and environment.
How can this be achieved? Urban districts can be restructured and optimized through innovative approaches. New projects involving densification or the development of disused sites offer an opportunity to implement pioneering solutions. Equally, established neighborhoods must be upgraded, for example by improving the energy efficiency of buildings.
