Under the leadership of Stephanie Bund, sfs is working with the cities of Dortmund and Cologne to develop new practices and technologies to improve urban, climate-adapted resilience. In the real labs Cologne-Deutz, Dortmund-Jungferntal and Dortmund Harbour, measures have been tested to make these neighbourhoods more climate resilient - for example with sensors on street lamps that measure temperature and humidity, heat prevention campaigns or urban gardening projects. Over the past years, in addition to content-related results, many insights have been gained into the process and structure of real laboratories and cooperative collaboration.

The script focuses on the applicability of reallabs in the context of climate-robust neighbourhood development and is aimed in particular at interested municipalities.

Topics include the benefits, preparation and set-up of a reallab, systematic public relations work, social innovations and smart city infrastructures as well as formats for digital cooperation. "With the script, we want to help other municipalities answer the question of whether reallabs are also suitable for them," says Stephanie Bund.
