Abstract
The department of spatial planning in the provincial government of Styria in Austria was participating from 2008 till 2011 in the INTERREG IVC project GRaBS. GRaBS stands for Green and Blue Space Adaptation for Urban Areas and Eco Towns. The main ideas of the project were the exchange of experiences among the 14 partners from 8 european countries and to produce an adaptation action plan concerning climate change. Due to scientific researches there are existing a lot of evidences that the climate is changing. The atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations are at their highest level for 3 million years and temperatures are increasing. Climate change is no longer simply something that will need to be addressed in the future, it is happening now and we will have to draw up climate change adaptation policies and strategies and implement them. Regional planning systems and urban spatial planning can help to reduce the vulnerability to the risks of flooding and heat island effects in cities. Green infrastructures including public and private parks, productive landscapes, green corridors and nets, green roofs and facades and also blue infrastructure such as water bodies, rivers, streams, sustainable drainage systems a.s.o. can mitigate the impacts of climate change. As a result of the GRaBS project and its outcome the Styrian Adaptation Action Plan, the department of spatial planning in Styria produced together with with an external office a guidebook of “Green and Blue spatial planning”. This guidebook was introduced to the planners and the biggest cities in Styria in December 2012.
