title: Planning heat sensitive cities: an approach towards sustainable energy systems

abstract: The search for renewable energy sources is nowadays on the global governance agenda. One promising concept in spatial planning is the urban harvesting approach. This concept suggests to harvest residual resources which are currently seen as waste but still have some remaining quality. The further reuse of waste heat energy in urban areas and the exergy principle might be of special interest in order to find alternatives to fossil fuels. The proposed approach in this study uses the idea of resource exchange between various urban functions. It is tested in a case study of the district St. Johann in Basel, Switzerland. The study indicates that water infrastructure can take a key role in developing heat energy linkages. These linkages are not the same all year but can vary between seasons. This study introduces the concept of heat sensitive cities which proposes to link water, periodicity and waste heat energy.
