Web database of sustainable settlements and neighbourhoods

About sdg21

Die sdg21.Webdatenbank bzw. www.oekosiedlungen.de ist seit dem Jahr 2000 im Netz und wird ehrenamtlich und nichtkommerziell als kostenfreies Angebot von Holger Wolpensinger (greenUP Architektur & Bauberatung) in Bonn mit zahlreichen Unterstützenden betrieben. Ziel dieser Website ist es, das Wissen und die Erfahrungen aus der Planung und Realisierung von nachhaltigen Siedlungen und Quartieren zu sammeln, um Hilfestellung für andere Projekte anzubieten.

Sdg21 is formed from the acronym for "sustainable development goals" and the number 21, which stands for the 21st century. The Sustainable Development Goals 2030 were adopted by all countries of the world at the UN Conference on Sustainable Development in New York in September 2015. The projects listed in the sdg21.web database are intended to show the largest possible approaches to achieving the SDG 2030 targets. Until cities, neighbourhoods and settlements are decarbonised and adapted to new demands from vastly changing environmental conditions, it is likely to be well beyond 2030. Even 2050 is considered ambitious in the buildings sector. This website shows this and how it can be done, using numerous practical examples.
