"Climate neutrality in urban neighbourhoods" in the issue "Ökologisches Wirtschaften 3/2019".

Research has identified neighbourhoods as an important level of action for climate protection. For this reason, the BMBF, BMU and Federal Ministries of Construction and Transport have funded several research projects on sustainable neighbourhoods, which are now being processed. The consensus of the research projects presented and the funding bodies is that "it is important to economically research neighbourhood concepts for a climate-friendly heat and power supply as well as an environmentally friendly mobility offer" and "to sensibly link the individual elements in the sense of a functioning sector coupling.

The focus articles of the issue "Ökologisches Wirtschaften 3/2019" show on the one hand the potentials of the neighbourhood approach for the implementation of climate protection measures, but also present best practice examples and discuss the feasibility in practice.

The selection criterion for the projects presented was, as is to be expected with the newsletter of the IOER - Institute for Ecological Economy, that members are involved in them. Overall, the contributions provide a good overview of the neighbourhood research projects currently underway in Germany.
