The crisis of climate change and global warming demands immediate, pervasive change on all scales. The infrastructural, entangled complexity of the city has left the individual citizen lost in a system outside of their influence. Through legislation and incentives, the agency on the scale of the individual needs to be restored and allow for a culture of prosumers to emerge.
Energy infrastructure, as well as energy production, have traditionally been kept out of sight and mind – but they concern everyone. They must be exposed and brought closer to home in order to allow for real debate and radical action.
Germany has set a preliminary target of cutting emissions by at least 65 percent by 2030 and a net-zero target by 2045. The individual footprints need to be brought down to as low as 2.1 tonnes of CO2 per person per year. Neither high-tech carbon-capturing nor drastic expansion of solar and wind farms in the Hinterland will be enough to reach this target. Local, autonomous action is a necessary add-on.
The proposed prototypes act as a range of design interventions to be appropriated by the local citizens in an effort to lower down carbon footprint together with the existing social issues.

Concept
By analyzing the quality of the existing situation of the three main actors, students, local residents, and homelessness, our concept and design make breaking down barriers between them a priority.
The project site is covered in a 15-minute area, which can provide major needs of actors, and create communication and dynamics to revive the current retails. The new urban farming business will serve as a good example of corporate social responsibility.
Vertical farms have a commercial as well as an educational function. By applying such farming technology in urban areas production per unit will be increased and at the same time transport distance will be reduced. The value chain of urban farming not only facilitates interaction between the university and the neighborhood but also gives homeless people the opportunity to get involved.
