Institute
At the Institute of Environmental Planning, the comprehensive protection of nature and the environment is a core topic. This includes the coordination and moderation of different land-use demands, while pursuing sustainable development.
In research and teaching, we answer the following questions, for example:
- How is climate change affecting plants in the Harz Mountains and the Luneburg Heath?
- Which plants are best at stabilizing banks and slopes?
- What is the fox doing in the city parks?
- How can the planning process be made more effective through modern communications technology?
- In what direction are our villages developing?
- What is actually a ‚nice landscape‘?
The renowned online magazine "Berufsreport" has published a descriptive presentation of our professional field.
On the following pages we provide information about our teaching and research areas and you can get to know our facilities and employees.
