News

New project “Heat Stress” launched

In January 2022, the DBU-funded research project “Planetary Health Model for the Reduction of Heat Stress at the Neighborhood Level” started. In collaboration with partners from the City of Leipzig, it will run under the leadership of the UFZ until May 2023. By combining micrometeorological simulations and social science survey results, the new research field “Planetary Health” will be further developed for the neighborhood level in order to identify key factors for heat stress and to be able to provide practical recommendations for reducing the individual exposure of the population.

Grünau 2020: Results of the Resident Survey

Prof. Dr. Sigrun Kabisch and Janine Pößneck

The development of the large housing estate Leipzig-Grünau has been accompanied sociologically since 1979 as part of the interval study “Housing and Living in Leipzig-Grünau”. At the center of this long-term study is the residents’ perspective on their living conditions and the social environment. Between 1979 and 2015, ten resident surveys were conducted. The 11th survey took place in early summer 2020.
