Zusammenfassung englisch
'Urban environmental protection' is an important cross-sectional task of the German Environment Agency (UBA). Through an extensive participation and coordination process, UBA has developed a strategic research agenda on this issue within the last 2 years. The research agenda defines most important research topics for better integrating urban development and environmental protection in future. Existing research gaps were identified, and important research needs to fill these gaps were derived. The research agenda is primarily focussed on topics that have high relevance to urban development from an environmental point of view, taking into consideration the current framework conditions, challenges and trends. All identified research topics need an interdisciplinary work, which is why cooperation with several stakeholders in urban development and environmental protection research, policy and practice is essential to develop suitable results. The UBA research agenda defines three thematic clusters and three cross-sectional topics that are underpinned with numerous specific research questions. The thematic clusters focus on issues connected to environmentally friendly, socially acceptable and healthy urban development; environmentally friendly natural resource use; regional circular economy development; and environmental protection through coordinated urban and infrastructural development. Complementarily, the cross-sectional topics highlight research questions on digitalization in urban areas, governance, financing and participation issues, as well as urban-rural connections. The agenda will be updated regularly, considering new developments and needs. The results will particularly be used for relevant federal programmes, strategies, regulations and information tools. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019
