Rapid Planning
Sustainable Infrastructure, Environmental and Resource Management for Highly Dynamic Metropolises
Rapid Planning (RP) is an action oriented research project that has been developed under the umbrella of the Future Megacities Research Program of the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF). RP seeks to develop a rapid trans-sectoral urban planning methodology with a focus on urban basic services infrastructure, specifically targeting supply and disposal infrastructure. The service sectors covered by the project include energy, water, waste water, solid waste, and urban agriculture.
Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences (FRA-UAS) is responsible for the RP Subproject 3 “Urban Planning and Capacity Building”.
Rapid Planning is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF).
