Background
Das Forschungsprojekt EnEff:Stadt: CircularGreenSimCity: Ganzheitliche-ressourceneffiziente Betrachtung von Stadtquartieren (FKZ: 03EN3050A; Laufzeit: 01.04.2022 – 31.03.2025), gefördert durch das Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz, untersuchte, was nachhaltige Quartiere heute und in Zukunft auszeichnet. Das Ziel war, eine multidimensionale Modellierung von Stadtquartieren bereits in frühen Planungsphasen zu ermöglichen, um optimale Lösungen und deren Wechselwirkungen sowohl quantitativ zu erfassen als auch qualitativ zu bewerten. CircularGreenSimCity (CGSC) brachte Kommunen mit Planungsbüros und der Wissenschaft zusammen, um gemeinsam ein Bild optimaler Quartiersentwicklung zu entwerfen. Um neben den technisch entwickelten Ansätzen auch der sozialen Dimension gerecht zu werden, wurde eine sozialwissenschaftliche Begleitstudie an IREES vergeben, um die Aspekte der sozialen Verträglichkeit der entwickelten Quartieransätze in das Projekt zu integrieren.

Goals and Results
The accompanying study focused on answering key questions about social sustainability in the neighborhood context. For a structured answer, the following questions were first divided into three thematic blocks: understanding sustainability, target groups and implementation. Each thematic block was subdivided into two questions and successively processed and answered with the CGSC consortium in two workshops, both online and in person:

- What is meant by social sustainability, especially in the context of urban and neighborhood development?
- Which social aspects need to be considered in neighborhood planning and which aspects should/must be focused on?
- How can social aspects be implemented in neighborhood planning, especially with regard to the use of the simulation tool developed in the project?
- Which indicators can meaningfully reflect the social dimension of sustainability at city and neighborhood level?
- What stakeholders and target groups are there in the context of sustainable neighborhood development and how can they be involved in an “optimal” process?
- How can the acceptance of measures be improved depending on the social structure in the neighborhood?
